Apple today released Apple Music Classical version 4.1, featuring a new black-and-white app icon and refreshed interface. The redesigned icon retains the treble clef rendered in shaded black against a white background, aligning with Apple Music's new monochrome visual identity introduced last month. The update swaps previous red accents for blue on tabs, playback buttons, and links. Apple's release notes mention only "stability and performance enhancements."
Apple Music Classical remains included with Apple Music subscriptions at no additional cost. The app offers search tailored to classical recordings, composer biographies, album booklets, time-synced listening guides, and curated stations. Version 4.1 is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, requiring iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later.
Apple continues to roll out its new visual identity across services. The standard Apple Music app also received the monochrome icon update alongside this classical counterpart, marking a significant shift from the familiar red branding to a modern monochrome appearance across the platform.
