Apple is releasing an Apple Watch Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop, a watch face, and dynamic wallpapers for iOS and iPadOS to celebrate LGBTQ+ equality campaigns worldwide.
The vibrant band known as the Apple Watch Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop was created to honour inclusivity and diversity. Its distinctive, flexible form makes it incredibly cosy and simple to put on and take off your wrist.
Using sophisticated precision-braiding equipment, 16,000 polyester yarn filaments are woven around incredibly tiny silicone threads to make the band. The strap is then laser-cut to the precise length required for a personalised fit. It is water and perspiration resistant and has a textured, velvety feel.
There are two sizes for the Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop, which will suit the majority of Apple Watches.

Summary
The Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop strap has a distinctive, elastic construction that makes it incredibly comfortable and simple to put on and take off your wrist. It weaves together the colours of the Pride flag. Using sophisticated precision-braiding equipment, 16,000 polyester yarn filaments were woven around incredibly tiny silicone threads to create the strap, which was then precisely measured and laser-cut to fit each individual wearer. The strap resists perspiration and water and has a textured, velvety feel.
Encircle, Equality North Carolina, Equality Texas, Gender Spectrum, GLSEN, the Human Rights Campaign, PFLAG National, National Centre for Transgender Equality, SMYAL and The Trevor Project in the US, and ILGA World internationally are just a few of the LGBTQ advocacy organisations that Apple is proud to support and work towards positive change.

Starting May 22, Apple Watch Pride Edition Braided Solo Loops will be available. The business will also release a similar watch face and dynamic wallpapers for iOS and iPadOS in an upcoming update. This helps global LGBTQ+ equality movements. After being customised, the Pride watch face and wallpapers may now display LGBTQ+ groups’ vivid and diverse colours.
Apple strongly supports LGBTQ+ advocacy groups making progress. Global LGBTQ+ rights advocates include the Human Rights Campaign and ILGA World. Apple funds Encircle, Equality North Carolina, Equality Texas, GLSEN, Equality Federation, NCTE, PFLAG, SMYAL, and The Trevor Project.
With a vibrant pattern inspired by many pride flags, the Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop celebrates LGBTQ+ courage and beauty. Additionally, it contains a laser-etched lug that reads “PRIDE 2024.” Individuals who identify as transgender or nonbinary are represented by the colours pink, light blue, and white, whereas the colours black and brown are representative of populations who are of African, Hispanic, and Latino descent, as well as people who have been affected by HIV/AIDS.
A colourful, fluorescent design that was inspired by several pride flags is featured on the new Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop watch, which represents the strength and beauty of the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, the Pride Radiance watch face may be personalised with a range of colours.
A strong and significant colour is brought to the Apple Watch, Apple iPhone, and iPad with the introduction of the Pride Radiance watch face as well as wallpapers for iOS and iPadOS.
The beams of light beaming against a dark background and piling on top of each other signify LGBTQ+ activism’s lasting impact on future equality. They offer LGBTQ+ groups hope, strength, and companionship.
Choose from many hues to design your watch face and backdrop. The Apple Watch’s colours follow each digit on the watch face and react to wrist movement in real time based on the gyroscope. Whenever the user unlocks their iPhone or iPad, beams of colour that spell out the word “Pride” move in a dynamic manner. The new Pride Radiance watch face, as well as the wallpaper for the iPhone and iPad, will be available in the near future with watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5, and iPad software 17.5.
