Apple Launches 2026 Pride Sport Loop and New Wallpapers for $59 CAD

Apple has launched its 2026 Pride Collection, featuring a new Apple Watch Sport Loop, matching watch faces, and wallpapers for iPhone and iPad. The release is part of the company’s annual initiative to support LGBTQ+ advocacy organisations globally.

The new Pride Edition Sport Loop is made from nylon yarns in 11 different colours. The design uses a layered weaving technique to create a gradient effect across the band. It is available in 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm sizes to fit various Apple Watch models.

To go along with the hardware, Apple is releasing the Pride Luminance watch face. This face offers two layout options: a radial design with colour rays pointing to hour markers and a vertical striped pattern that matches the Sport Loop. Users can also download matching dynamic wallpapers for their iPhones and iPads.

The Pride Edition Sport Loop is available for purchase starting today on Apple’s website and the Apple Store app for $59 CAD. Retail stores will begin carrying the stock later this week.

There is a catch though, as the new watch face and wallpapers will be released alongside watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPadOS 26.5. Today’s announcement means that iOS 26.5 is imminent, so stay tuned for that release either today or tomorrow.
