Apple launches new Pride edition Watch band in India: Price, availability
Apple has introduced a new Apple Watch Pride Edition braided solo loop band in support of global movements to protect and advance equality for LGBTQ+ communities. Apple has also launched a matching watch face and dynamic iOS and iPadOS wallpapers.
The Pride watch face and wallpapers can be customised to showcase a spectrum of colours representing the vibrancy and diversity of LGBTQ+ communities.
The new Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop has a vibrant, fluorescent design inspired by multiple pride flags, and features a laser-etched lug that reads “PRIDE 2024.” The colours black and brown symbolise Black, Hispanic, and Latin communities, as well as those impacted by HIV/AIDS, while the pink, light blue, and white hues represent transgender and non-binary individuals.
Users can choose from a spectrum of colours to personalise their watch face and wallpapers. On Apple Watch, the colours trace each numeral of the watch face and react in real time as the user moves their wrist based on input from the gyroscope. On iPhone and iPad, beams of colour spell out “Pride” and dynamically move when the user unlocks their device.
Price and availability
The Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop will be available to order on Apple’s online store beginning May 22. It will be available at Apple Store locations beginning May 23 in India for Rs 9500.
The Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop is available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, and is compatible with Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 or later.
The new Pride Radiance watch face and iPhone and iPad wallpapers will be available soon with watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5. The Pride Radiance watch face can be downloaded from the Apple Watch app.
