In celebration of Pride and in recognition of the ongoing movement to protect and advance equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities around the world, Apple has released a brand new Pride Edition Sport Loop, watch face, and iPhone and iPad wallpaper. The 2026 watch band is woven from a rainbow of 11 different colours of nylon yarns. The intricate weaving blends one colour into the next, creating depth and movement across the band.
Apple says that the vibrant 2026 band design is intended to showcase “a full spectrum of colours that reflect the unique identities that shape LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.”
The 2026 Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Loop is available in 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm sizes.
Along with the new woven Pride band, there is also a new Pride Radiance wallpaper available to download. The 2026 wallpaper for the Apple watch compliments the new band with rainbow colours of the face that refract dynamically, using two geometric patterns. The matching iPhone and iPad wallpaper features a complementary joyful and dynamic design with similarly customizable colours.
The Pride Luminance watch face and the iPhone and iPad wallpaper will be available to add to the watch face gallery and wallpaper gallery after watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPadOS 26.5 are available.
Of course, this isn’t the first year Apple has joined in on the festivities… they have been releasing new Pride-themed watch bands and watch faces since 2017 to help celebrate Pride month. The company also proudly financially supports organizations across North America that serve LGBTQ+ communities.
The 2026 Apple Watch Pride Edition Woven Sport Loop is available now on apple.com and is also available at Apple Store locations across Canada and the U.S. for $59 (CAD). Customers can download the matching Pride Radiance watch face or Pride Radiance wallpapers for free through the Apple Watch app, on the Apple Store app, or at apple.com.
