Apple has updated the Apple Music Classical app's icon and interface to match the monochrome redesign it recently gave the main Apple Music app, swapping the colored G-clef symbol for a black-and-white version.

Users seeing low-storage warnings may find Spotify high on their device's storage list, often due to downloaded music and cached data rather than the app itself.

The release also adds a redesigned Apple Music icon and minor app design tweaks tied to last week's Apple Music rebrand.
