iOS 27.2 adds new app icon for Apple Music, more design updates

iOS 27.2 beta 4, recently released for developers, introduces a new app icon for Apple Music and other design updates within the Music app. Apple is currently undergoing a gradual branding refresh for Apple Music, with the company's new logo now appearing in various places, including iOS 27.2 beta 3 last week. Today, with beta 4, iOS 27.2 introduces a new app icon for Music, which removes color from the branding, opting for a white icon with a black music logo in default mode, and vice versa in dark mode.

The Music app in iOS 27.2 now incorporates blue in the tab bar for the active tab, a significant shift from the previous red/pink branding. Furthermore, widgets for the Music app now feature simple black backgrounds instead of the iconic red/pink. In the Music app's Library, sections like Playlists, Albums, Artists, and Songs have all had color removed in favor of a black-and-white design.

The new design updates in iOS 27.2 for Apple Music have sparked curiosity among users, and we invite your thoughts on these design changes. Apple Music is priced at $11.99 per month, or can be included in the Apple One bundle. For additional Apple news, check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.
