Apple says the new design represents Pan-Africanism and symbolizes the harmony of multiple generations working together to address injustices.

The Sport Band is black with colorful flowers spread across the band, featuring red, green and yellow hues. Each band is unique due to a special unique layering process during manufacturing. The band’s pin features the words ‘Truth, Power, Solidarity’ etched it into it.

The band is available for 41mm and 45mm watches, in the typical S/M and M/L length sizes. You can order the new band today, and It will be available in Apple retail stores beginning January 23.

The corresponding Apple Watch face is a new analog face, adorned with the same abstract flowers. Users can choose between a single flower or full-bloom styles. On wrist raise, the flowers bloom and fill in. watchOS 10.3 requires Apple Watch Series 4 or later.

The new Unity Bloom wallpaper for iPhone and iPad behaves similarly, featuring an array of flowers. When locked, the wallpaper renders as subtle outlines. When the display wakes up, the wallpaper colors emerge. The wallpaper will arrive as part of the upcoming iOS 17.3 update, which will be released next week.
