Searching For Lofi Delights
Two weeks ago, Apple released the first beta version of iOS 18.4. Among some smaller updates and additions – including the long-promised Priority Notifications – was the unexpected appearance of a new Ambient Music feature. Accessible via Control Center, Ambient Music includes four different modes that offer a different variation on the theme of ambience: Sleep, Chill, Productivity, and Wellbeing. While I was trying out this new feature, it became apparent that Apple was aiming for a particular genre of music with it: lofi.
I often listen to lofi music to help me focus or when I don’t know what to listen to while working, so the idea of accessing it quickly and easily from Control Center was intriguing.
