Apple has introduced a new Pride Edition Sport Band for the Apple Watch, along with a Pride-themed watch face and wallpapers for iPhone and iPad. These new additions reflect Apple’s ongoing dedication to celebrating diversity and inclusion, specifically supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride Edition Sport Band Design
The Pride Edition Sport Band features a distinct design with rainbow-coloured stripes, each uniquely shaped and sized. These stripes are created through a precise compression-moulding process, which ensures each band is slightly different, much like the diversity found within the LGBTQ+ community. The new band is available in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm, and it fits wrist lengths of both S/M and M/L.

Pride Harmony Watch Face and Wallpapers
In addition to the sport band, Apple has rolled out a new Pride Harmony watch face for the Apple Watch. The watch face showcases large rainbow stripes that shift dynamically to form bold hour numerals when the wearer lifts their wrist. Similarly, the new wallpapers for iPhone and iPad change their colour layout based on the device’s movement, such as when the device is locked, unlocked, or held. These updates will be part of upcoming software releases for watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, and iPadOS 18.5.
