New Pride Celebration wallpaper and watch face now available with iOS 16.5 and watchOS 9.5

Apple’s colorful new Pride Celebration wallpaper and watch face for iPhone and Apple Watch are now available with the release of iOS 16.5 and watchOS 9.5.

Apple touts that the new Pride Celebration watch face and iPhone wallpaper “honor the combined strength and mutual support of the LGBTQ+ community.” The face features colorful shapes that circulate into the watch display, and respond when a user raises and moves their wrist or taps the display.

The corresponding wallpaper for iPhone is a vibrant interpretation of the Apple Watch watch face. The wallpaper dynamically moves when the user unlocks their iPhone.

The new wallpaper and watch face showcases the original pride flag rainbow colors and five others — black and brown symbolize Black and Latin communities, in addition to those who have passed away from or are living with HIV/AIDS, while light blue, pink, and white represent transgender and nonbinary individuals.
