Apple iOS 8.4 to give major 'visual' overhaul to Music app

Apple's upcoming iOS 8.4 update is expected to give a major overhaul to the Music app.

The news has garnered a lot of interest as reports suggested that the iPhone maker has been planning to relaunch a new version of the Beats streaming music service, which it bought last year, reported The Verge.

The update is expected to revamp the look and feel of the app by replacing the original design with a "beautiful" new design that takes a cue from streaming services like Rdio by allowing users to use their own photos as playlist album covers. The app also incorporates a few features from the latest versions of iTunes, with things like a miniplayer with small controls and a peek at what's going to play next.
