The 2026 Apple Pride Collection has arrived, with a new Apple Watch<\/a> Pride Edition Sport Loop accompanied by a matching watch face and Pride Luminance wallpapers. <\/p>\n

Each year, Apple releases<\/a> Pride Editions of Apple Watch bands, as part of its work to champion LGBTQ+ equality. On May 4, the 2026 batch became available. <\/p>\n

The new Pride Edition Sport Loop<\/a> is woven from nylon yarns in 11 colors. The weaving blends the colors into each other, which Apple describes as reflecting the “unique identities that shape LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.” <\/p>\n

As well as the band, there’s a new Pride Luminance watch face that complements the design. The colors of the face refract dynamically, using two geometric patterns. <\/p>\n

One, Radial, uses rays of color that align with the hour marks. Vertical. Meanwhile, reflects the vertical stripes of the weaving pattern. <\/p>\n
