Apple has announced the launch of its 2026 Pride Edition Watch Band, featuring a vibrant rainbow design and new dynamic watch faces to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. The new Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Loop showcases an 11-colour rainbow pattern and is available in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm, priced at Rs 4,500.
New Pride Luminance Watch Face
Apple introduces a customizable 'Pride Luminance' watch face that displays radial and vertical geometric patterns that refract colours dynamically. Users can personalize the watch face to their liking.
Cross-Platform Pride Themes
The Pride Luminance themes and wallpapers will also be available for iPhones and iPads with iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5. This ensures a consistent Pride experience across Apple devices.
Release Timeline
The new features are expected to launch by late May or early June 2026, ahead of Apple's WWDC 2026. The band can be pre-booked on Apple's online store and app, with physical availability starting later in the week.
This release continues Apple's tradition of supporting the LGBTQ+ community with special edition products during Pride Month.
