Discussion New Apple Music colours, and app icon.

In the Apple Music app on iOS 27.2, red seems to no longer be the colour of Apple Music. Instead the library icons are now black, the navigation bar is white with blue highlight, and the icon is now black and white. What do you think?

No, please no. Pink was the identity of the app. Spotify was the green one and apple music the pink one.

Exactly. Now Apple Music is the black one? Like we already have other black streaming apps

Idk. I’m not mad at it tho. Pink used to feel too “default” for me for some reason.

I have a feeling they did this for a future custom accent color per artist/album design. Like iTunes in the old days…

When they updated Apple Classical with Digital Booklets, I had a feeling they were trying to bring back that thing with iTunes LP and digital booklets… and then this year they added custom fonts per artist page with customizable accent color for the buttons… I really think they are going to bring some of the elements of this era of iTunes back…

I would LOVE this. A modern take of a booklet where artists can upload images or miniclips of the album session. That way you not only have the cover (or animated cover) but also the whole concept of an album. This would be actually really nice

Looks very bad to me, I hope they listen to our feedback and make it back to the normal before RC

At Apple, innovation is at the forefront of our philosophy. As such, we ask ourselves the questions, “what if our products were entirely soulless;” and “what if we made changes that are a net negative for the user?”. With this, we are proud to announce the enshittification update to Apple Music.

I like it, I need to see the whole concept of this. I think something greater is coming with the logo change too.

Do you think this is a sign they’re going to kill iTunes Store in 28

Honestly, I like the colors inside the app, but I wish they would change the icon back. Ideally, I'd also like a few more customization options.

It just goes to show how Apple has lost its identity years ago.
