Apple reveals 2026 Pride wallpaper coming in iOS 26.5 and more
Every year ahead of Pride month, Apple has made a tradition of releasing new Pride wallpapers for iPhone and iPad, plus an accompanying Apple Watch face.
Today, Apple has revealed what’s coming this year.
iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5 are launching in the next couple weeks, and will include the new wallpapers and watch face.
You can see the new wallpapers above and watch face below. Here is Apple’s description:
The new Pride Luminance watch face complements the band design with colors that refract dynamically to celebrate the vibrancy, spirit, and individuality of the LGBTQ+ community. The face is designed in two geometric patterns: radial, featuring rays of color that align with the hour marks, and vertical, reflecting the colorful linear stripes of the weaving pattern. With this collection, users can customize the watch face with even more color options to create a unique expression of themselves and their communities. The matching iPhone and iPad wallpaper features a complementary joyful and dynamic design with similarly customizable colors.
iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5 are currently only available in beta, with RC (release candidate) versions expected either today or in the next week or so. The public launch should follow within a week of the RCs shipping.
If you’re interested in getting a new Apple Watch band, there’s a fresh Pride Edition Sport Loop available to order now too.
Previous years’ Pride wallpapers and watch faces are all still available across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch today.
