🎵 Apple Music is getting a new logo

📱 The new logo has been spotted in macOS 27.2 beta 3 and iOS 27.2 beta 3. It's identical to the one Apple used last month when announcing Apple Music Hall. At first it wasn't clear whether the design was exclusive to the venue. Now everything points to it being the new official logo for the streaming service.

🍎 Apple's official Apple Music website and web player still show the old logo, but it's only a matter of time. The public software updates are expected later this month, shortly after the iPhone Duo launch, so the new logo should be everywhere by then.

💬 What do you think of the new look?

More ℹ️ about “Welcome home” event on October 13

📰 The event will take place in New York at 9:00 AM ET on October 13. The tagline hints at a smart home theme, and rumors say Apple will launch new home products. The event will follow no traditional live video presentation, but with press releases, a demo area for the press, and promo videos online.

🤪 The display hub was originally planned for 2025, but the launch was delayed because of the postponed AI-powered Siri. Siri AI finally arrived in September, though it’s still labeled as a beta.

By the way, Apple may also unveil devices reportedly developed with LG: a video doorbell, a thermostat, and a home camera. They’re expected to be sold under the LG brand.

📰 Apple also plans to announce the M6 iMac and MacBook Pro, and a new iPad mini

👨‍🏫 Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is planning online video presentations after all. For both October launches.

📅 Oct 13 – “Welcome Home” Apple Experience for press in New York: smart home hub, new Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini.

📅 Oct 27 – second launch, expected to include touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro, M6 14" MacBook Pro, M6 iMac and OLED iPad mini.

Mark says:

Like its smart home event on Oct. 13, the next launch will include an online video presentation and in-person component for the press.

🧐 Apple is calling these “Experiences” rather than traditional Events, so the exact format is still unclear: it may look like a keynote, or like the MacBook Neo launch earlier this year, with videos posted on YouTube and social media.

🔔 Anyway, we'll see it TOMORROW.
