Apple has introduced its 2026 Pride Collection, bringing a new Apple Watch band, a fresh watch face, and matching wallpapers for iPhone and iPad, all designed to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities during Pride Month and throughout the year. The update keeps Apple’s annual tradition while adding more personalization options across devices.
The highlight is the Pride Edition Sport Loop, which Apple has made available to order now, with retail availability expected later this week. The band uses 11 different colors of nylon yarns, woven together in a way that creates a smooth transition between shades, giving the design a sense of movement and depth that stands out on the wrist without feeling overly loud.
Apple also introduced the Pride Luminance watch face, which pairs directly with the band and brings two layout options, including a radial pattern with colors aligned to hour markers and a vertical stripe pattern that mirrors the band’s design. The watch face supports color customization, allowing users to adjust tones based on their preference.
The matching wallpapers for iPhone and iPad follow the same visual direction, with dynamic color patterns that stay consistent with the watch face and band. These software features will roll out with watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPadOS 26.5 later this month, completing the full Pride Collection experience across Apple devices.
