Apple Music May Adopt a New Monochrome App Icon in Upcoming iOS Update
Apple Music appears to be receiving a new monochrome app icon as part of updates in the latest iOS 27.2 beta, according to reports from 9to5Mac. The current red icon is being replaced with a black-and-white version that features an eighth note with sharper angles. This change aligns with recent sightings of a similar logo on Apple Music Hall's website. The new design includes a black music note on a white background in light mode and the reverse for dark mode, while widgets now have black backgrounds and use blue to highlight active tabs. A user shared images showing how the icon appears across different color modes, suggesting users may still customize its appearance using tinted homescreen options. The update reflects Apple's ongoing efforts to modernize app visuals in line with broader design trends within iOS.
