Apple reveals 2026 Pride wallpaper available in iOS 26.5 and up

Every year before Pride Month, Apple has made it a tradition to release new Pride wallpapers for iPhone and iPad, along with an accompanying Apple Watch face.

Today, Apple revealed what’s coming this year.

iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5 will launch in the coming weeks and will include the new wallpapers and watch face.

You can see the new wallpapers above and the watch face below. Here is Apple’s description:

The new Pride Luminance watch face complements the strap design with colors that dynamically refract to celebrate the vibrancy, spirit and individuality of the LGBTQ+ community. The dial is designed in two geometric patterns: radial, with colored rays that align with the hour markers, and vertical, reflecting the colorful linear stripes of the woven pattern. With this collection, users can personalize the watch face with even more color options to create a unique expression of themselves and their communities.

The matching wallpaper for iPhone and iPad features a cheerful and vibrant complementary design with equally customizable colors.

iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5 are currently only available in beta, with RC (release candidate) versions expected today or within the next week. The public launch is expected to follow within a week of shipping the RCs.

If you’re interested in getting a new Apple Watch band, a new Pride Edition Sport Loop is also available to order now.

Pride wallpapers and watch faces from previous years are still available today on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
