Apple’s redesigned Apple Music icon for artists leads to speculation about iOS 15 design plans

Apple yesterday updated its Apple Music for Artists app with some minor bug fixes and improvements, but also another notable change – a new icon.

The Apple Music for Artists app now features a simpler, streamlined icon with a rosy red music logo instead of the multicolored logo that was used before. The icon also has a raised appearance that sets it apart from other Apple icons.

‌Apple Music‌ for Artists is an app that lets artists know how their music is performing on ‌Apple Music‌, iTunes and Shazam, so it’s an app with a limited audience and the new icon may seem unimportant, but it’s similar to another change of application icon that Apple launched last year.

The App Store Connect in October was updated with an updated icon that is similar to the ‌Apple Music‌ icon for Artists, which means that Apple has now updated two app icons with this new design.

On Reddit, users are speculating that changes to the icon may be indicative of more comprehensive design changes defined to be introduced in iOS 15.

Apple on macOS Big Sur has updated many of its icons and simplified its design, so there is a chance that something similar could happen on the OSiOS 15‌. That said, these may just be one-off updates to Apple’s behind-the-scenes apps for developers and musicians, and not a sign of things to come.

We don’t know much about iOS 15 at this point, but we may see some details leaking out as the software’s release date approaches. Apple is due to debut ‌iOS 15‌, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, tvOS 15 and macOS 12 at its main event to be held on June 7.
