For the last few years,
Apple
has been unveiling Black Unity Watch bands, faces and wallpapers. The 2024 Black Unity Collectionis here and introduces new expressions inspired by the resilience and beauty of the Black community. Blooming flowers and vibrant colours represent Pan-Africanism and symbolise generations working together to address injustice and dismantle systemic barriers, said Apple in post on its newsroom website.
The
Apple Watch Black Unity Sport Band
features an arrangement of flowers moulded abstractly across the band utilising red, green, and yellow colours. Inspired by the rich cultural diversity of Black communities around the world, Apple used a unique layering process for the flowers to create tiny variations in each band’s design, ensuring no two bands are exactly alike. The pin of the band is coated with a durable diamond-like carbon finish that features an etching of the words “Truth, Power, Solidarity” alongside one of four symbolic flower emblems.
The
Unity Bloom Apple Watch face
showcases a loral design that signifies a lasting commitment to the pursuit of a more equitable world. Users can choose between a full-bloom or single-bloom arrangement, and when they raise their wrist, the flowers begin to bloom and fill with vibrant hues.
iPhone and iPad users can also show their support with the new Unity Bloom wallpaper for their Lock Screen, which presents an outline of flowers that fill with colour when the display is active.
