Each year, as spring turns toward summer, Apple marks the season with a quiet gesture toward color and identity — this time, a woven rainbow band for the Apple Watch, priced at $49 and available now online. The eleven-color Sport Loop arrives alongside a matching watch face and wallpapers, all timed to upcoming software releases expected this month. It is a small but deliberate act of design coordination, weaving together hardware and software into a unified expression that extends across the wrist, the phone, and the tablet.
