Apple took the covers off the much-awaited iOS 27 update at WWDC yesterday, i.e., June 8th. This brings performance improvements, with faster app loading speeds, a new Liquid Glass slider, faster AirDrop transfers, and much more. Most importantly, we finally have the revamped Siri. The company also detailed several updates coming to Apple Music in iOS 27, including an upgraded AutoMix feature.
Apple Music upgrades AutoMix with advanced transition algorithms in iOS 27
The most apparent visible change is a redesigned artist page, with a prominent shuffle play button, updated artist name display, and other layout tweaks. The album pages have also been updated. However, changes are reportedly not visible in the first iOS 27 developer beta for iPhones. Apple has upgraded AutoMix, which is its AI-powered feature that blends songs based on key and tempo, with improved algorithms to generate new transition types. The standard Crossfade option is still available for those who prefer it.
Lyrics Translation is also expanding in iOS 27. It gets support for seven new language pairings. These include English to French, English to German, English to Italian, English to Korean, English to Spanish, French to English, and Japanese to English. The feature uses machine learning with fine-tuning from language experts to preserve the emotion, cultural nuance, and original intent of each song.
Deeper integration with the new Siri AI
Meanwhile, Lyrics Pronunciation, which helps users sing along when lyrics are in another language, is also gaining five new pairings. It covers Arabic to Romanized Arabic, English to Hangul, English to Katakana, Japanese to Hangul, and Mandarin Chinese to Katakana.
Apple Music is adding Hi-Res Lossless Audio to tvOS in iOS 27, in addition to standard Lossless Audio. Those with compatible external speakers can listen to studio-quality music directly through the Apple TV 4K. The new upgrade, iOS 27, apparently makes Apple Music streaming more reliable. The Now Playing view apparently loads faster, and music starts playing quicker after opening the app. Both these improvements should make the app far more responsive overall. Users can also now swipe away the Now Playing widget on the Lock Screen to dismiss it.
Lastly, Apple Music also gets deeper integration with the new Siri AI in iOS 27. You can ask Siri about artists and then follow up with natural commands like “play one of their new singles” mid-conversation to start playing music without interrupting the flow.
