Apple today unveiled its 2026 Pride collection that includes a new Apple Watch band, a watch face, and a matching wallpaper for iPhone and iPad. The new collection, as Apple says, celebrates LGBTQ+ communities around the world during Pride Month in June and beyond. The band, which Apple calls “Pride Edition Sport Loop,” is now available to order.

Apple weaves the new band using 11 rainbow-colored nylon yarns. The colors blend smoothly into each other, creating a sense of depth and motion across the band. Apple says the resulting design is “joyful and vibrant,” showing a full spectrum of colors that“reflect the unique identities that shape LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.”
The Pride Edition Sport Loop is available to order via the Apple website and in the Apple Store app. You can get it in 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm sizes. It will be available at Apple Store locations starting later this week. It’ll set you back by $49 in the US.
Matching ‘Pride Luminance’ wallpaper
Meanwhile, the new Pride Luminance watch face complements the band design. The watch face is designed in two geometric patterns: radial, featuring rays of color that align with the hour marks, and vertical, reflecting the colorful linear stripes of the new Pride Edition Sport Loop.
There’s also the matching Pride Luminance wallpaper for the iPhone and iPad. The watch face and wallpaper will be available after watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPad 26.5 are available. These are currently in beta and expected to roll out to all users sometime this month.
Apple says that with the new collection, users can customize the watch face and matching iPhone and iPad wallpapers with even more color options to “create a unique expression of themselves and their communities.”
