Apple has released the first iOS 27.3 beta, introducing a significant CarPlay redesign for the Apple Music app. The update features a new Liquid Glass tab bar that mirrors the iOS interface, allowing users to slide between tabs with icons and text always visible. The tab bar hovers above content for constant accessibility.
The app also adopts a fresh white background matching the redesigned app icon from iOS 27.2, switching to dark mode automatically. Additionally, Apple has adjusted element sizing for a denser layout, displaying more albums and playlists per row in the Library view, though this varies by display size and Smart Display Zoom settings. Beyond CarPlay, iOS 27.3 includes new Safari features, Apple Health updates, a one-handed upgrade for iPhone Duo, and several Siri AI improvements.
