Apple announced a new Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop for Apple Watch as part of its new Pride collection. It will be available for purchase starting on May 23, and it will soon be followed by a new "Pride Radiance" watch face and iPhone and iPad wallpapers that will be available on watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5.
The Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop comes in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and is compatible with Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later models. It costs ₩14,800 and is being released to support the global movement to protect and advance the equality of the LGBTQ+ community.
The bright, fluorescent design evokes the strength and beauty of the LGBTQ+ community. The loop is laser-engraved with "Pride 2024". The black and brown colors symbolize the Black, Hispanic, and Latinx communities, as well as those who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. Pink, light blue, and white represent transgender and non-binary people.
The new Pride Radiance watch face and iOS and iPadOS wallpapers will also be available with watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5, which will be released soon.
With this Pride collection, Apple continues to support LGBTQ+ advocacy groups that are making positive changes around the world, such as ILGA World, a global federation dedicated to advancing the rights of LGBTQ+ people worldwide, and Human Rights Campaign, a global advocacy group that works to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people are treated as full and equal citizens. Other organizations that Apple supports include Encircle, Equality North Carolina, Equality Texas, GLSEN, Equality Federation, the National Center for Transgender Equality, PFLAG, SMYAL, and The Trevor Project.
The new watch face and wallpapers bring bold and symbolic colors to the watch, iPhone, and iPad. Beams of light, representing hope, strength, and camaraderie for the LGBTQ+ community, blend and overlap against a dark background, illuminating the enduring impact of the LGBTQ+ movement and a brighter future of greater equality for future generations.
Users can personalize their watch face and wallpapers by choosing from a variety of colors. On Apple Watch, the colors follow the numbers in real-time based on gyroscope information with each wrist movement. On iPhone and iPad, the beams of light spell out "Pride" and move dynamically when the device is unlocked.
