The obvious designs of a brand new Apple Watch band and face for this yr’s Satisfaction Month have been leaked on-line. They appear to reflect the ‘sprinkles’ theme first seen on the Apple Pay Later art work seen final month, albeit (within the case of the watch face) with colours that match these of the Progress Pride Flag.
One commenter has speculated that the second hand could change shade relying on the realm it’s at present pointing to. The leaked picture doesn’t rule out this interesting concept, because it’s pointing to a yellow space of the background and is yellow, however doesn’t verify it both.
The designs have been posted to Twitter Wednesday by the leaker @aaronp613, who credit @nicolas09F9 for serving to with the invention however doesn’t in any other case reveal a lot about its origins. The photographs are probably, nevertheless, to have been unearthed within the code from the newest iOS 16.5 beta.
As regards the reliability of the photographs, we are able to at the least verify that @aaronp613 is a prolific leaker with some notable wins, such because the discovery in April of code pointing to the launch of the Apple Card Financial savings account, which was adopted 4 days later by precisely that. The leaker has additionally noticed code snippets that led to right predictions in regards to the launch of the 2022 Apple TV, and Apple Music Classical.
It’s a close to certainty, in the meantime, that Apple will launch a face and band for Satisfaction Month this June. The corporate did the identical factor last year and has accomplished so yearly since 2017. (The yr earlier than that, commemorative Satisfaction bands have been made, however just for workers.) It typically makes these bulletins in Might, so the plans could be in place by late April; on the entire, we’d say that these photographs are most likely legit.

Whereas the band appears much less clearly Satisfaction-affiliated that these launched in earlier years, it’s value allowing for that we’re solely seeing a small part of it, and a stylised model of that. Primarily based on 2022 there may very well be a brand or phrase on the reverse.
