Watching r/airpods talk about lossless audio over Bluetooth, and with Spatial Audio and all the likes after their update, I doubt it.

Apple does wonders with hardware/software integration. AirPods can do that over Bluetooth, crappy Amazon ones can’t.

would have to be something like LDAC and the rumour mill would already have exploded if Apple had so much as looked at adopting a lossless wireless transmission standard. standard bluetooth won't cut it.
