Apple has updated its Apple Music Classical app with a new black-and-white icon and revamped user interface, aligning it with the broader Apple Music rebrand. This change removes the traditional red coloring, replacing it with blue accents and links. The update follows a larger rebrand effort that also influenced the unveiling of Apple Music Hall in Battersea, London. While the release notes focus on stability and performance improvements, the visual overhaul brings the app in line with Apple's current design identity. The updated app is now available on the App Store and is included at no extra cost with an Apple Music subscription.
The Apple Music Classical app is designed specifically for classical music, offering a bespoke interface that accommodates the unique structure of classical works, which often don't fit standard album-based frameworks. This update builds on the previous Liquid Glass design introduced with iOS 26 in 2025, further integrating the app into Apple's ecosystem of first-party applications.
