Every year, Apple celebrates Pride with a new collection of colorful designs for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
This year, Apple is once again bringing new Pride-themed wallpapers, a matching watch face, and a special Pride Sport Loop. I always like these updates, because they add a personal and meaningful touch to your devices while celebrating love, identity, and community. Let's talk about it.
Apple Introduces New Pride Sport Loop Band and Wallpapers
Apple has introduced its new Pride Collection, including a beautiful Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Loop, a matching Pride watch face, and new Pride wallpapers for iPhone and iPad.
The collection celebrates LGBTQ+ communities around the world, not only during Pride Month but beyond. What I really like about this year’s design is how colorful and expressive it feels. The new Sport Loop is woven with 11 different colors, blending into each other to create a vibrant look with a lot of depth and movement.
The matching Pride Luminance watch face and wallpapers continue that same feeling, with dynamic colors that make the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch feel more personal. It is one of those small Apple touches that adds meaning, color, and personality to your devices.
The 2 new Pride wallpapers can be customized with 12 beautiful color options, so you can really make them feel personal. The animation is my favorite part. When you wake your iPhone, the rainbow colors softly flow across the Lock Screen, and when you lock it again, they fade away in such a smooth way. It looks simple, elegant, and very premium.
When will it be available?
The new Pride Edition Sport Loop is available to order now through Apple.com and the Apple Store app.
It will arrive in Apple Store locations later this week (May 8th) and will also be sold through Apple Authorized Resellers.
The band is priced at $49 in the United States.
Apple offers the Pride Edition Sport Loop in 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm sizes.
The matching Pride Luminance watch face and iPhone and iPad wallpapers will become available after watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPadOS 26.5 are released.
If you are testing beta software, or if you have installed the iOS 26.5 RC, the new Pride wallpapers are already available at the time of writing.
You can find them by going to Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper and then scrolling down to the Pride section.
The final of iOS 26.5 is expected in the week of May 11th. For all the new features that are coming to iOS 26.5 you can read my article here.
