While this week’s WWDC Keynote was all about software, Apple has snuck in a few minor accessory updates in the form of new silicon iPhone case colors and Apple Watch bands, as spotted by AppleInsider. The new options, which are part of Apple’s normal seasonal color updates, include three new colors for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X silicon cases — peach, marine green, and sky blue — along with matching Apple Watch Sport Band options. The colors reflect Apple’s previous summer releases that focus more on light pastels that serve as a contrast to the darker tones that come with the fall iPhone releases. The pricing for the new colors remains the same as for all of the other cases, with the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus versions selling for $39, iPhone 8 versions for $35, and Apple Watch Sport bands for $49.
As mentioned during yesterday’s keynote, Apple has also released a special Pride Edition Apple Watch nylon band that is being sold for LGBTQ Pride Month, featuring a woven nylon strap with a rainbow stripe design on a white background. A portion of proceeds from the sale of Pride Edition bands will go to LGBTQ advocacy organizations including GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor Project, Gender Spectrum, The National Center for Transgender Equality in the U.S. and ILGA.
