Apple Introduces Pride Edition Sport Band, Watch Face, and Wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

To celebrate the strength and beauty of LGBTQ+ communities around the world, Apple has announced a new Pride Edition Sport Band for the Apple Watch, alongside watch face, and wallpaper for iPhone and iPad. This launch underscores Apple's ongoing commitment to celebrating diversity and inclusion.

Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Band

The Pride Edition Sport Band stands out with its unique design, featuring a myriad of rainbow stripes that differ in both shape and size. These stripes are intricately assembled by hand, combining various vibrant colors through a compression-molding process. This meticulous manufacturing approach ensures that each band showcases subtle distinctions, highlighting the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community.

Complementing the Pride Edition Sport Band, Apple has also introduced the Pride Harmony watch face and wallpaper for iPhone and iPad. This new watch face displays bold rainbow stripes that dynamically change, forming large hour numerals as the wearer lifts their wrist.

Similarly, the wallpaper for iPhone and iPad alters its color positioning in response to the device's movements, whether it's being locked, unlocked, or simply held. This harmonious design will be made available in the forthcoming software updates: watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, and iPadOS 18.5.

Pricing and Availability

Available for purchase on apple.com/in and through the Apple Store app starting today, the Pride Edition Sport Band will soon hit Apple Store locations next week, retailing at Rs 4500. It will also be available via Apple Authorised Resellers. The band comes in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm, catering to both S/M and M/L wrist lengths.

For those eager to sync their devices with the Pride theme, the matching Pride Harmony watch face can be downloaded through the Apple Watch app, the Apple Store app, or directly from apple.com/in. This addition, alongside the new wallpaper for iPhone and iPad, will be accessible with the next software updates slated for release: watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, and iPadOS 18.5.

This initiative by Apple not only celebrates the LGBTQ+ community's strength and beauty but also adds a colorful touch to its product lineup, allowing users to display their support for diversity and inclusion.
