Apple Music Revamp in iOS 10 Introduces Colorful Design and Simpler Interface

Monday June 13, 2016 11:17 AM PDT by Mitchel Broussard
At WWDC today, Apple revealed an all-new Apple Music redesign while also confirming that the service has officially reached 15 million paid subscribers. The redesign introduces a bright and simplistic aesthetic and a new "Library" launch tab on the bottom left.

According to Apple, the new design language brings "greater clarity and simplicity to every aspect of the experience." The Library, For You, Browse and Radio tabs have gone through a design change that will give the user "an even greater sense of place."

The company has also begun to better differentiate streaming and downloaded songs in the new iOS 10 version of Apple Music, with a specifically designated "Downloaded Music" section located within the app. A few other minor additions include a new lyrics feature and revamped "For You" tab with daily curated playlists aimed at each Apple Music user.

What an utterly ugly look, so terrible. It looks like a website with a CSS error (<h1>For You</h1>). Very messy and it breaks lots of design conventions on iOS. Apple has no standards anymore.

My god that live rap thing was so awkward. Why did this happen that was so cringey.

Other than that I hope it's better for local music.

Jesus Christ. What's up with all the hate and bashing?

This looks pretty amazing, their pretty much addressing all that's wrong with the current UX. I do not fancy the font myself, but everything else looks like a huge improvement.

They somehow managed to make this look worse. The fonts in particular are quite un-apple.

Wow that new Apple Music looks even crappier than it is already!!! So sad. And what the hell is all this China and rap? Seriously Apple.. It's a big cringe, and obviously only to attract specific customers that weren't buying your products so you can say the sales are still going up!

They've gotta change the bold font between now and the final release of iOS 10. This is just awful. How the hell did this make it to the coding phase? It should have been laughed off the table.
