Apple Music is getting a new update and it includes a series of new features including the new section called “Coming Soon,” which allows subscribers to check out new albums that are about to be released. It is also listing the album launch dates as well.
The coming soon section on iOS and Mac OS can be found in Browse tab > New Music > scroll down to find Coming Soon >. This hub lists artists from a variety of different genres. However, it only lists about 10 albums, so the coming soon section isn’t entirely a reliable source for all the upcoming albums, but since Apple has started updating, we expect it will expand the list gradually.
Lastly, the company is also adding artist profiles, for now showing up only in iTunes on macOS. These profiles have a slightly tweaked layout with artist portraits in circular bubbles, and a “Featured Release” that includes release dates. There’s also a new Play button present next to the artist name, this was first noticed by iOS 12 beta testers and now it appears to be launching now for all Apple Music users.
Coming soon tab and release dates have appeared for multiple users on iOS 11.4, as well as on macOS 10.13.4. With Apple not talking about Music at WWDC event, it looks like there is no major update coming this fall.
