Nice… amazing how many different bands there has been. Not only pride, but all of them.
Wonder if anyone bought them all 🤔

Sounds pretty straighphobic to me.
You can have a straight pride band when you can be executed in certain countries just for being straight, when you could potentially lose your job or not be hired for a job because you're straight, when other straight people had to riot and get arrested just to have the same rights as anyone else, when you still have to worry about holding hands with your partner in the streets for fear of being assaulted, when there is new legislation coming out every day trying to strip you of your rights and freedoms, and the list could go on and on.
Be grateful you don't need a straight pride band.
Of course, it’s okay for any one person to not like any one colour. The issue is when it becomes more than just a typical preference, and becomes a dominant idea in society. Then, if you don’t stop and ask why that is, that's the problem.
Challenging your own ideas and assumptions is healthy. If you still come away thinking “I just don’t like that colour”, then fine. Enjoy your preferences. But when blanket statements are frequently thrown around, like the one that started this discussion, that’s…not great.
No, it isn't.
Well said, and an excellent illustration of the extent to which being LGBT isn't just about "what you do in the bedroom".
So This magic band protects from execution? Ill take two!
I’m sorry. “Wrong” about what? Thinking the color brown is ugly? I am what the media these days loves to refer to as “brown” or POC, and I hate the color brown. What do you suppose that means? it could just mean what is written: I hate the color brown. But this is the internet and something that straightforward would not be any fun, I guess.
Looks like they are seriously struggling to add all the colours. It is ridiculous how many colours keep getting added to this representation. Think it’s about time the community involved came up with something a bit simpler and just included everyone they want to represent. It was colourful at first, now it’s become a bit of a mess.
Can Apple maybe post a pic of the actual band? You can barely see it...
Tim Cook is gay. Why would they not support the LGBT community?
Here's a suggestion. Boycott anything and everything Apple (and that includes MacRumors) until they stop spotlighting differences among people. If it bothers you so much, put your money where your mouth is.
But we know you won't.
this is the only thing where I’m like “hmm okay Apple I see you, keeping up with the yearly Pride releases but I know what’s going on behind the scenes…”
LOL, get ready for dongle-gate 2.0, tiny little bits attaching to either end of your old bands so they can go on newer watches🤣
Well, some people who feel the need to chime in with their personal gripes with the LGBT community every time Apple releases their annual band. But I think the majority of MacRumors users are at least neutral on it.
Apple won't until it's available to order, and even then it will just be computer renders.
I got you, though.
Cry about it.
Thank God! God bless the gays. I can’t wait to buy 2 of these for me & my gay husband. Yes, we are gay, proud and out, deal with it haters…
Oh boy at these comments.
Love the band and will continue to support.

Apple's inclusivity extends to everything.
Just look at their most recent action in the EU. So that app developers who want to offer their apps on a third party app store or available to download off the web don't feel left out of paying Apple a commission, they created the Core Tech Fee. Just for them.
How thoughtful Apple was in not forgetting about them. 🤣
This is quite a trash response considering what this post is about….
The brown M&M still exists. Her name is Mr. Brown (a.k.a dark chocolate or milk chocolate)
All the M&M colors.
