Apple has announced a brand-new Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Loop, watch face, and a matching wallpaper to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities.
New 2026 Pride Collection Announced – Includes Pride Luminance Apple Watch Face, Wallpapers for iPhone and iPad, and Pride Edition Sport Loop
Last year, at the same time, Apple announced its 2025 Pride Collection, which included a new Sport Band, watch face, and a wallpaper to match for iPhone and iPad.
Today, Apple has officially its new 2026 Pride Collection.
The thing that immediately interests me are the wallpapers for iPhone and iPad. Apple says that they will be available with the release of iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5. Assuming that this announcement is being made today, it means the Release Candidate build should become available later today.
For Apple Watch, there’s a new watch face as well which Apple is calling Pride Luminance. And you guessed it, it will be available with the release of watchOS 26.5.
Apple says that these wallpapers will be customizable, allowing users to perfectly dial in the look they are going for on their devices.
The Pride Edition Sport Loop, according to Apple, will be available starting later this week for a price of $49, and it happens to be a beautiful rainbow of 11 colors. It will be available for all Apple Watch models and different case sizes from this link.
The wallpapers and watch face are going to be part of the new iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5 updates. Given this announcement is happening today, we should see the full and final version of the software updates next week, with the RC builds arriving for both developers and public beta testers very soon.
