How are audio files stored on iPhone?
Audio files on an iPhone are typically stored using the AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) format, which offers high-quality sound while also using relatively little storage space. When you save an audio file to your iPhone, it is typically stored in the device’s internal storage or on an external memory card, if you are using one. Audio files can be accessed using the default Music app on your iPhone or any third-party audio player app available in the App Store. Alternatively, you can access your audio files using your computer and iTunes, where you can manage, back up, or transfer your audio files from your iPhone to your computer. The latest version of iOS, iOS 16, offers an improved audio experience with support for spatial audio and lossless audio playback. If you want to ensure that you have enough storage space on your iPhone for all your audio files, it’s a good idea to regularly clean out any unused apps or files, as well as to use cloud storage solutions or an external hard drive to transfer and backup your files.
