Apple's iOS 27.2 beta 3 reveals new Apple Music logo, Messages tweaks
Apple released iOS 27.2 beta 3 to developers, a build that rolls out a redesigned Apple Music logo with a bolder typeface and lowercase 'm'. The update also contains unreleased code referencing per-app controls for Messages' suggested actions, plus Liquid Glass design changes and a new progress bar in Apple Books. A companion macOS 27.2 beta 3 includes further hints at touch-interaction support ahead of an expected touchscreen MacBook Pro.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The buried code references suggest Apple is testing features well before they're finalized, meaning some of these changes—like the Messages settings—could still be dropped before public release. The macOS touch hints add to speculation, previously reported elsewhere, that Apple may unveil a touchscreen Mac as soon as this month.
- iOS 27.2 beta 3 (build 24B5099f) ships two weeks after beta 2, with a public beta already out.
- A redesigned Apple Music logo and new Apple Books Liquid Glass UI are visibly rolling out.
- Hidden code hints at adjustable Messages suggestions and touch support in macOS, though unconfirmed.
