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. The app's interior also changed, with red button accents replaced by Apple's standard blue color scheme, though the icon retained its three-dimensional shading unlike the flatter main Apple Music icon.
Apple released iOS 27.2 beta 4 to developers, introducing a redesigned Apple Music app icon that drops color in favor of a white icon with black logo (black with white logo in dark mode).

Evidence of a redesigned Apple Music logo has been found in the latest iOS 27.2 beta, following its initial appearance on the Apple Music Hall website. The new logo features a bolder, lowercase font and has been used in promotional content outside of the venue branding, suggesting a broader rollout may be underway.

Apple has added 13 classic movies to Apple TV's free-with-subscription library as part of a recurring monthly update.
