In relation to the Spring 2021 band refresh, the rumour now has it that the new iPad pro will release next week (which would mean bands would release too), but given they’ve already gotten it wrong twice now, i wouldnā€˜t be too complacent
Hope that is accurate! The wait is killing me!

Literally been waiting for both since mid-March. Hopefully it’s true.

Curious where you’re reading this? Not to like call you out and try to debunk. Purely feeling old and feeble in my rumor gathering abilities, all I got is MR/9to/Gurman/Prosser and they’ve been silent on iPads for awhile it appears.

I saw this on leaksApplepro on Twitter. But who knows if it’s actually accurate! Who knows how accurate leaksapplepro is!

I’ll take anything that has compatibility with a refresh button at this point.

Starting to wonder if maybe the Apple Store is being held hostage Speed-style and it can’t be taken down without being destroyed 🤪

Call me crazy but in the new Cycling with Tyrell workout this week, he is wearing a purple band I’ve never seen before.

Sam also has a strange color band on, but it looks a bit more blue in that lighting. Surely this isn’t Northern Blue. There’s definitely a purple tone to this band. Right? RIGHT?!?!?

I’m happy to be wrong but I’ve been checking every new F+ video preview for the last three weeks and I’m pretty sure it’s Lav Gray. Weirdly the dressers at the studio stick to a rotation of: Kumquat, LavGray, pom loop, Alaskan loop, white, black, red, and the occasional post-February Unity. Even going as far as putting Lav Gray on Red aluminum 🄓.

I’m assuming the Nike bands just don’t look good under the lights or are just too loud. For all the Nike kit they’ve never worn a Nike a band. Even when they have a grayscale aluminum watch, which admittedly isn’t often.

As for Tyrell, I think he’s just under the ā€œlet’s pushā€ lights that turn on at the end of dance sessions (I don’t own a spin bike). During his little explainer it looks like Lav Gray, which matches his top.

Ugh such a bummer!! In the cycle video it really looked more purple. It’s so weird that they’d be wearing an older color like that.

I know! That one caught my eye as the leaked blue too. I still think they could leak them out on F+...it’s just not the week.

LeaksApplePro is now saying next week, although he’s also still saying no video, which doesn’t square with Gruber’s speculation that Tim isn’t going to congress in case he needs to record a new intro at the last second.

I get my second Moderna next week, so it could be a great week for me. LOL to think I was getting bands alongside my first jab back in March!

I’m guessing Lav Gray is prominent because it blends into the background and is kind of a spring color and has that Nike muted gracefulness?

I feel like we’ve been saying ā€˜next week’ for about a month now. Who knows at this point. I’m hoping for tomorrow. He did say it could be tomorrow or next week but likely next week. We’ll see.

I’d love to see this combo from the front? :)

ā€œ Just One More Week ā„¢ļø ā€œ and next week it’ll be the same thing lol

you know I can’t help but wonder if the summer 2021 refresh of watch bands will be delayed too. These usually release at the beginning of June, usually around WWDC. Weā€˜re now less than 8 weeks away from WWDC. Even if they release today on the 13th, thats still not a long time like at all till the hypothetical Summer 2021 refresh. Although of course that release would probably only be sport bands and iPhone silicone cases.

As others have also mentioned, these watch bands and stuff are a huge revenue generator for Apple, profit margins on these things are pretty big. By continuously kicking the can down the road, they aren’t really doing themselves any favours, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled if they release this week

Yeah I love the sunshine gradient face but it would be invisible in this shot out in the bright light. Coming soon though.

Yeah if all four of these leaked colors are spring bands will they still do three in June? Or just do two pride bands in May and call it wraps on series 6 bands?
