Apple Accessories Get May Update

Apple accessories received a small May update with two additions: a 2026 Pride Edition Sport Loop for Apple Watch and the Hikawa Grip & Stand for iPhone.

Two Accessories, No New Devices

Apple has not added a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch model this month. Instead, the company’s May product activity has focused on accessories.

The two releases cover different parts of Apple’s lineup: one for Apple Watch users and one for iPhone users with MagSafe-compatible models.

2026 Pride Edition Sport Loop

The 2026 Pride Edition Sport Loop is a woven Apple Watch band made with a rainbow design using 11 colors of nylon yarn. Apple lists the band at $49 in the U.S. 0

The band is part of Apple’s 2026 Pride Collection. The collection also includes the Pride Luminance watch face and matching wallpaper for iPhone and iPad after watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5, and iPadOS 26.5 are available. 1

The Pride Edition Sport Loop is available in 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm sizes. Apple says it can be ordered through apple.com and the Apple Store app, with Apple Store and authorized reseller availability also listed. 2

You can view the official listing through Apple Watch bands on Apple.

Hikawa Grip & Stand for iPhone

The Hikawa Grip & Stand for iPhone is a MagSafe-compatible grip that also works as a stand. It attaches magnetically to iPhone models that support MagSafe.

Apple lists the accessory in three colors: Orange Swirl, Glow Blue, and Speckled Stone. The product is exclusive to Apple and is priced at $54.95 in the U.S. 3

The accessory was designed by Los Angeles-based designer Bailey Hikawa. Apple describes it as made with premium silicone and built with accessibility in mind for users affected by grip, strength, and mobility needs.

You can view the official Apple listing for the Hikawa Grip & Stand in Orange Swirl, Hikawa Grip & Stand in Glow Blue, or Hikawa Grip & Stand in Speckled Stone.

What It Means For Buyers

This is a minor Apple product update, but it is still useful for buyers looking for first-party accessory options. The Pride Edition Sport Loop is the most relevant pick for Apple Watch users, while the Hikawa Grip & Stand is aimed at iPhone users who want a MagSafe grip with stand support.
