Reddit users who have installed copies of the developer beta of iOS 11 are reporting that Apple has finally added support for lossless FLAC audio files in their new mobile operating system.
The Next Web reports: The functionality was first spotted on an iPhone 6S Plus running iOS 11 Beta 1 and is reportedly available as part of the newly announced file-management app, Files. Up until now, Apple had deliberately opted to ignore offering playback support for FLAC files in both iTunes and iOS -- though there are numerous third-party apps to do the trick. But it appears things are finally about to change.

The story talks about FLAC on IOS, the software used on the iPhones and ipads. The next version of OSX on the Mac desktop/laptop platform is High Sierra, probably due in the fall. https://apple.slashdot.org/story/17...dds-support-for-flac-lossless-audio-in-ios-11
From what I can read, it may be a while before we see native support for FLAC fiiles directly in iTunes itself, but it is a promising move forward! https://apple.slashdot.org/story/17...dds-support-for-flac-lossless-audio-in-ios-11
