Apple Released Two New Accessories This Month

May has been a quiet stretch in terms of new Apple products, but the company did release two accessories on its online store this month.

Apple Announces 2026 Pride Band Watch Face and iPhone Wallpaper Feature
First up was a new Pride Edition Sport Loop for the Apple Watch. The band features a rainbow design with 11 colors of woven nylon yarns. U.S. pricing is set at $49.

The band is part of Apple's 2026 Pride Collection, which also includes a new Pride Luminance watch face and wallpaper across watchOS 26.5 and iOS 26.5.

Also this month, Apple started exclusively selling the Hikawa Grip & Stand for iPhone in three new colors, including Orange Swirl, Glow Blue, and Speckled Stone. The original, limited-edition version of the accessory quickly sold out last year, but it is now being mass produced by the well-known brand PopSockets.

Apple Releases Popular iPhone Grip and Stand in Three New Colors Feature
While the accessory is from Hikawa, it is only available at Apple.

Designed by Los Angeles-based designer Bailey Hikawa, Apple says the accessory was created with accessibility in mind, in close collaboration with individuals with a wide range of disabilities affecting grip, strength, and mobility. The ergonomic grip magnetically attaches to any iPhone with MagSafe, and it doubles as an iPhone stand.

In the U.S., the Hikawa Grip & Stand is priced at $54.95. Apple says the grip is made with "premium silicone with a soft touch feel."

Apple has not released any new devices this May, so these accessories are the only new products that the company has started selling this month so far.
