Apple today revealed the new Apple Watch Unity Connection Braided Solo Loop, honoring Black History Month and celebrating the power of connection. This special-edition band is now available for order.
Aligned with this theme, Apple is proud to support organizations that inspire connection and promote creativity through impactful programs in under-resourced communities around the world. This includes grants to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Urban Arts in New York City, Youth Music in London, Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, and Enactus México in Mexico City. These new grants build upon Apple's long-standing commitment to advancing economic, educational, and creative opportunities in communities globally.
This band, along with previously released Black Unity bands, was designed by Black creatives and allies at Apple. Showcasing the colors of the Pan-African flag, the Unity Connection Braided Solo Loop is created by weaving recycled polyester yarn filaments around ultrathin silicone threads using advanced precision-braiding machinery. Soft with a textured feel, it is also sweat and water resistant. On closer look, the band reveals multiple shades of red, green, and black - giving it added depth and vibrancy.
