Nice! Does anyone know which movies or TV shows on Netflix has this
spatial audio track available? Wish to test this out on my Airpods Max.
There is also a confusing setting on my iPhone called "Follow iPhone."
It's located in Settings/Accessibility/Airpods. Not sure if this needs
to be toggled off or on to enable the Spatial audio feature.

Good news for AirPods Max and AirPods Pro owners who subscribe to Netflix.
Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad

Netflix has confirmed that it is now rolling out Spatial Audio support
to its iPhone and iPad applications. This enables an immersive
experience using directional audio filters, and it has been a long
time coming to Netflix users.
A Netflix spokesperson has confirmed to /9to5Mac /that the company has
started rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad on iOS
14. The news was first reported by users on Reddit
<https://www.reddit.com/r/Airpodsmax/comments/p6oiss/spatial_audio_is_now_working_on_the_netflix_app/>
as well as in a report from /iPhoneSoft/
<https://iphonesoft.fr/2021/08/18/netflix-active-spatial-audio-application-ios>,
The toggle for managing Spatial Audio is located in the Control
Center. The spatial audio feature is exclusive to AirPods Pro and
AirPods Max.
Apple says that spatial audio is an immersive experience using
directional audio filters to “play sounds virtually anywhere in space,
creating an immersive sound experience.” This will put surround
channels exactly in the right spot, even as you turn your head or move
your device.
Here’s how Apple describes the spatial audio feature for AirPods Pro
and AirPods Max users:
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking brings the movie theater
experience right to your AirPods Pro. By applying directional
audio filters and subtly adjusting the frequencies each ear
receives, spatial audio can place sounds virtually anywhere in
space, creating an immersive surround sound experience. Using the
gyroscope and accelerometer in your AirPods Pro and your iPhone,
spatial audio tracks the motion of your head as well as your
device, compares the motion data, and then remaps the sound field
so that it stays anchored to your device even as your head moves.
iOS 15 takes Spatial Audio to the next level with a new Spatialize
Stereo option
<https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/08/ios-15-and-macos-monterey-simulate-spatial-audio-for-non-dolby-content-with-new-spatialize-stereo-option/>,
which simulates the Spatial Audio experience for non-Dolby Atmos
content. This allows AirPods Pro and AirPods Max users to listen to
pretty much any song or video.
