So Apple uses ALAC, which is it’s own version. Do you mean how much data is used when streaming? If so, I’m not sure. If you mean what’s available it’s:

High Quality (AAC 256 Kbps)

Lossless (ALAC up to 24-bit/48 kHz)

Hi-Res (ALAC up to 24-bit/192 kHz)

TBF these days ALAC is not that much different from FLAC and equally lossless and open source/royalty free. It’s just that ALAC as used prioritizes file size over decode speed.
