Apple’s latest Pride band and wallpapers are bathed in neon

The next band is a cushy Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop.

The bands will have laser etching that reads “PRIDE 2024.” Apple doesn’t explicitly say that any of the proceeds of its sales of these bands will go to LGBTQ+ charities, but the company does say it supports several organizations, including ILGA World, the Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Product, Equality Texas, and the National Center for Transgender Equality. If you look closely at Apple’s special-edition watch band and wallpaper announcements, there are usually hints about when the next version of iOS will come out. So far, betas for iOS 17.5 have come with sideloading support for EU users as well as other features, like the ability to keep Find My switched on when sending an iPhone in for repairs.
