Apple Music Classical gets black-and-white redesign update

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 7 Nov, 17:25 · Archive

Apple has updated its Apple Music Classical app with a new black-and-white icon and refreshed interface design.

Apple has released version 4.1 of Apple Music Classical featuring a redesigned black-and-white icon and refreshed interface. The new icon retains the app's treble clef symbol but renders it in shaded black against a white background, bringing the app in line with Apple Music's new visual identity that replaced the service's familiar red branding with a monochrome appearance last month.

The update also changes the app's interface accents from red to blue on selected tabs, playback buttons, and links. According to MacRumors, Apple has not detailed the visual changes in its release notes, which only mention 'stability and performance enhancements'. Engadget notes that unlike the main Music app's new logo, the Classical app's redesigned icon retains some measure of translucency and does not appear one-dimensional.

Apple Music Classical is included with Apple Music subscriptions at no additional cost. The app offers features including search tailored to classical recordings, composer biographies, album booklets, time-synced listening guides, and curated stations. Version 4.1 is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, requiring iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later.
