No, the existing Apple Music app is not going anywhere! Instead, Apple plans to bring a completely new Music app for iPhone with the next version of iOS 15.5. According to a MacRumors report, there are references to the upcoming “Apple Classical” application being developed to complement Apple’s current music application. The new music app “Apple Classical” was discovered in the first beta of iOS 15.5. The report suggests that there is “Open in Apple Classical” and “Open this in the new application designed for classical music” in the code of the Music application, but the Classical application has not yet been released, implying that the new Apple Music application will be released soon . Last year, when Apple announced the launch of the Primephonic classical music streaming service, it said that “the best elements of Primephonic will become part of Apple Music, providing subscribers with a significantly enhanced classical music experience,” the MacRumors report said. Primephonic offers advanced search and navigation features specially optimized for classical music. Apple’s announcement simply implied the release of a new Apple Music application in 2022, which will be dedicated exclusively to classical music. The new app will bring Primephonic’s user interface and classical music specifications with Apple’s music library and many other features, such as Lossless and Spatial Audio. Although Apple has not provided any other details about the new Music application for iPhone users, we do not know exactly when the application may be released, but according to the report, the preparations are clear. Also this week, Apple launched the first beta versions of iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5.
What else does Apple expect to bring with the iOS 15.5 update?
The MacRumors report lists all the possible features and upgrades that are expected to be released along with the next iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 updates. The first beta version of these updates includes the addition of the “Apply” and “Send” buttons to Apple Pay Cash, also renamed Apple Cash. In addition, there are now WiFi signal lines in the Home app, a SportsKit update, an iTunes Pass rename, support for external links in iOS 15.5, and more.
