Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that the streaming service Apple Music is set for a sweeping design overhaul. Now, 9to5Mac has unearthed various other details about exactly how this redesign should turn out – and greater simplicity appears to be Apple’s overall aim.
9to5Mac writer Mark Gurman, who has a history of leaking accurate information about Apple’s future moves, has revealed that the new user-interface “ditches the current colorful and translucent look in favor of a simpler design that emphasizes black and white backgrounds and text.”
Despite the increased eschewing of color, however, Apple will make album artwork “huge” within the interface to avoid a dull appearance. There will also be new 3D Touch shortcut previews, while Apple’s in-house San Francisco typeface will be more widely deployed.
The significantly revamped Apple Music will get its public release with iOS 10 this fall – though it will initially become available to testers with the beta release of iOS 10 this summer.
