The design, as described on Apple’s website, “integrates a joyful rainbow of geometric shapes on a white base […] No two bands are exactly alike, reflecting the individuality of all members of the LGBTQ+ community.” Included on the design are the original pride flag rainbow colours and five others: black and brown to symbolise both the Black and Latin communities and those who have passed away from or are living with HIV/AIDS, and light blue, pink and white as the colours of the transgender and nonbinary pride flag.

SMART. QUEER SMART.
