New Delhi: Apple has introduced a new Pride Edition sport band with a matching watch face and iOS wallpaper, as the company celebrates the ongoing movement to protect and advance equality for LGBTQ+ communities around the world.
The Pride Edition Sport Band will be available starting May 23 for Rs 4,500 on Apple.com and Apple Store starting May 24.
The Pride Edition Sport band is available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, and is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 3 and later.
The new Pride Celebration watch face and iPhone wallpaper will be available next week, and require watchOS 9.5 and iOS 16.5.
The new sport band design displays the original Pride flag rainbow colors and five other black and brown symbols to symbolize black and Latino communities, in addition to those who have passed away or are living with HIV/AIDS, while the light blue, pink and white represent So do transgender and non-binary individuals.
This year’s design integrates a joyous rainbow of geometric shapes on a white base, which is compression-molded into the final band.
In the forming process, the base material flows around each individual shape, causing small changes to their layout.
The company stated that no two bands are exactly alike, reflecting the individuality of all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
