Apple announced its annual products for Pride Month: straps for its smartwatches. The 2024 version is called Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop and comes in neon colors with "PRIDE 2024" etched in the lugs. The new braided solo loop will be available from May 22 in the United States and Canada, while other regions will follow one day later, on May 23. The price for the band is US$ 99.
The accessory is compatible with the 41 mm
and 45 mm sizes of Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 or later. Along with
the band, a new Prime Radiance watch face and matching wallpapers for iOS and
iPadOS will be launched.
This year, the design is representing the
"everlasting impact of LGBTQ+ activism", said a press release issued
by Apple. Users will be able to slightly personalize the watch faces and
wallpapers, which will be available to watchOS 10.5, iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5.
