Apple Music in iOS 27 introduces new design changes in two key areas

Apple Music is getting a handful of improvements in iOS 27, including new designs in two key parts of the app: artist pages and album pages. Here’s what’s coming.

Here’s Apple Music’s new design for artist pages in iOS 27, with album refreshes coming too

iOS 27 refines Liquid Glass and adds a new slider to dial in your preferred look for the design.

Joining these systemwide changes, the update also has two Apple Music-specific design revisions.

Apple Music introduces redesigned artist pages and album pages in iOS 27.

The new look for artist pages is available now in the iOS 27 beta, as shown above and below.

The artist’s image now blends elegantly into the content below it, with its color scheme shaping the look of the full page.

You’ll now find artist info, play, and star buttons front and center under the artist’s name. Their featured music—sometimes a recent release, other times an upcoming work—is also split into its own distinct box.

It’s a great new look that still retains the basic structure of iOS 26 while feeling fresh and new.

Album pages are getting updated in iOS 27 too—but the changes aren’t yet available in beta.

On Apple’s big word cloud slide listing hundreds of changes in iOS 27, the company mentioned both of the following:

  • Refreshed artist pages in Apple Music
  • Refreshed album pages in Apple Music

We’ll likely see the first signs of the redesigned album pages in the next couple iOS 27 betas.

What do you think of iOS 27’s new design changes for Apple Music? Let us know in the comments.

Apple Music is available for $10.99/month, or you can get it as part of the Apple One bundle.
