Apple recently introduced a fresh, captivating wallpaper; follow these steps to download it on your device.
Feeling a wave of nostalgia? Apple's back to its vibrant roots
In the old days, Apple enthusiasts had to chicken wing their devices until it was time for a fresh upgrade, eagerly awaiting new official wallpapers. But it seems like Apple's finally taken a chill pill, dropping a plethora of mesmerizing new designs left and right, especially for special occasions.
Rainbows, oh rainbows! It's Pride 2025, and Apple's gone all-out, not just blessing us with a kaleidoscope of new wallpapers for each device, but also debuting its boldest Apple Watch band ever. It's like they've been eavesdropping on my complaints about them toning down the color fun.
So, let's give a warm welcome to the 'Pride Harmony' wallpapers – these bad boys feature colorful stripes that dance around as you move, lock, or unlock your device. As for the Apple Watch, the stripes on the 'Pride Harmony' band somewhat elegantly shift and shimmy across the watch face, taking the form of large hour numerals as you flick your wrist.
In the past, Apple might've dropped new wallpapers on its website, but this time they've made it a tad easier by baking them right into the software itself. All you need to do is update your devices to watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, or iPadOS 18.5.
But wait, there's more! The jaw-dropping new Pride Edition Sport Band for the Apple Watch isn't just dynamic – in Apple's own words, it's "crafted with love." Each band is made by hand, combining individual stripes of vibrant hues in a compression-molded process that ensures no two are exactly alike. It's an ode to the diverse and unique nature of the LGBTQ+ community.
