Apple Music’s red icon reportedly changed to black and white in the latest iOS 27.2 beta, according to 9to5Mac. The eighth note on the new design has a slightly sharper angle than before. A similar monochrome logo was also seen on the Apple Music Hall website last month.

The updated icon is a black music note on a white background in light mode, or vice versa in dark mode, per 9to5Mac. Additionally, Apple Music widgets now feature black backgrounds, and the app uses a blue splash in the tab bar to indicate the active tab.

A user on X shared images of the new icon in various modes, including a tinted version. If this design reaches a public release, users might use the tinted homescreen option to make it resemble the previous red version again.
