For the first time, the Pride watch face and wallpapers can be customized to show specific colors representing LGBTQ+ communities.

The new braided Solo Loop will be available starting May 22. The new Pride Radiance watch face and ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ wallpaper will be available "soon" with the release of watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5, and iPadOS 17.5.

Can we have straight pride bands as well? I mean if you need a band to call out what you like, isn’t that unfairly excluding others? Just saying….
Do you have to grow up hiding who you are because of religious people? Do you have your rights up for vote every time an election cycle comes around? No?

Be glad you don't need a straight pride band.

You can have a straight pride band when you can be executed in certain countries just for being straight, when you could potentially lose your job or not be hired for a job because you're straight, when other straight people had to riot and get arrested just to have the same rights as anyone else, when you still have to worry about holding hands with your partner in the streets for fear of being assaulted, when there is new legislation coming out every day trying to strip you of your rights and freedoms, and the list could go on and on.

Be grateful you don't need a straight pride band.
