This New Apple Watch Face Is Coming in watchOS 26.5
iOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5 will have a new Pride Luminance wallpaper and Apple Watch face when the updates are released in the coming weeks, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In a brief tweet, Gurman revealed that Pride Luminance will "Celebrate the vibrancy and individuality of the LGBTQ+ community and customize your watch face with colors from Pride
flags."
iOS 26.5 has been in beta since late March, and a third beta was released this week. It is expected to include end-to-end encryption for RCS in the Messages app and ads in the Apple Maps app.
Beyond that, iOS 26.5 has only a few other minor changes. The update is expected to drop sometime in May.
