@jamesthomson@mastodon.social Be great if they called it the Donald Trump special edition. (He likes that sort of thing)

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social Agreed. Personally I find these a pride faces uninspired. Apple can certainly do much better.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social I risk liberal jail for saying this, but adding all the extra colors to the rainbow made for awful designs.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social The 2021 Solo Band was peak pride merch from Apple, the 2023 Pride Band was a close second Nothing else even gets close for me tbh, and that's a shame cause I would have loved it in a 49mm size band

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social yeah, this is not a rainbow, it’s just … some colours.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social This looks more like candy.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social I think my kid might like this more pixel style band but definitely not the face.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social I am still waiting for the Apple Vision Pro Pride band.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social I will just say that since 2024 lots of people have gotten just a bit subtle with the colors - bit of plausible deniability in the era of an uncertain police state here.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social some designs shouldn’t be retired. OTOH, there are third party bands.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social IMHO 2020 is the best pride band. And the one I still use.

@jamesthomson@mastodon.social Been wearing the new watch strap for a few weeks now and I quite like it. The colours look bleached and washed out, much like Tim Cook’s soul in current year.
