In preparation for Pride Month 2023, which takes place this June, Apple has announced new Apple Watch band and face.

Leading the charge is a Pride Edition Sport Band, which appears with a rainbow geometric pattern. On top of the white base, are five symbolic shades. Pink and white represent transgender and non-binary individuals, while the black and brown shades represent Black and Latino communities alongside those who have passed from HIV/AIDS and those with the disease.

Alongside the band, the release also includes a new watch face and iOS wallpaper, which feature similar geometric patterns. The iOS wallpaper specifically takes the multi-shade design and generates a wave-like movement. Coming in 41mm and 45mm sizes, the Pride Edition Sport Brand will be available to order online on May 23 for $49 USD. The band will release in-store the following day.

Additionally, the Pride Celebration watch face and iOS wallpaper are set to release next week.
