Apple Music has formally unveiled a new brand identity, a day after weeks of speculation fed by a monochrome app icon that surfaced in test software. According to 9to5Mac's report on the announcement, the service's official channels introduced the refresh on October 21, framing the new logo as something "made by sound."

Apple says the logo was captured entirely in camera rather than drawn digitally. The company describes the mark as physically shaped by an original composition created with the artist Fred again.. and NEST Acoustics. A behind-the-scenes video published alongside the announcement walks through how sound was used to bring the shape to life, though the details of the audio itself have not been spelled out.

Apple has reported results for its fiscal third quarter, which ended on June 27, 2026. Revenue came in at $109.4 billion, a 16 percent increase compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

Diluted earnings per share reached $2.02, up 29 percent year over year. Apple said both the gross margin of 50.1 percent and the per-share figure were helped by refunds related to tariffs, which contributed roughly two percentage points to margin and eleven cents to earnings per share.

According to the company, iPhone, Mac and Services each set a revenue record for a June quarter and each grew by double digits. Revenue also rose by double digits in every one of Apple's geographic segments, and operating cash flow was a June-quarter record.
