So Mayo Apple has announced its 2025 Pride Edition sport band, Apple Watch Face, and wallpaper for iPhone and iPad.

0:09.1

The watch band itself is very colorful as always, and Apple says it features a tapestry of rainbow stripes that vary in shape and size.

0:18.0

And each individual pride band is assembled by hand from individual

0:22.8

stripes of color that are compression molded together. So no two bands are exactly alike.

0:30.3

They've done that trip before, right, with previous versions of the pride band where they,

0:34.4

but it was less, this one seems more squared off, right? So they're like very

0:38.9

Look at this jaggedy line.

1:11.4

Look how unique is and this one feels more what's the word like designed even though the 20s still unique if you

1:17.3

know what I mean more thoughtful yeah yeah it's cool then the pride harmony watch face is

1:25.0

complimentary to the band and it features that similar geometric design.

1:29.2

And then it has a, the rainbow stripes will like dynamically shift across the face of the display as you raise your wrist to check the time.

1:37.0

So it's another one of those like animations that they've toyed with on a few different watch faces that change as you raise your wrist to check the time.

1:45.0
