As February approaches, Apple has revealed its 2025 Black Unity Collection, celebrating Black History Month with a stunning lineup of products. The collection includes a special-edition Apple Watch band, a Unity Rhythm watch face, and a matching wallpaper for iPhone and iPad, all inspired by the “rhythm of humanity.”
This year’s designs incorporate the black, green, and red colors of the Pan-African flag, symbolizing unity and resilience. The collection not only honors Black culture but also supports global organizations with grants, furthering Apple’s commitment to social impact.
A Closer Look at the 2025 Black Unity Collection
1. Black Unity Sport Loop for Apple Watch
The highlight of the collection is the Black Unity Sport Loop, available for order now at $49 in the United States, £49 in the UK, and AU$69 in Australia.
This woven band features a lenticular design with raised and recessed loops in red and green, creating a dynamic effect that blends colors as you move. A yellow hue emerges when the colors shift, symbolizing harmony and unity.
Available in 42mm and 46mm sizes, the Black Unity Sport Loop fits most Apple Watch models and complements its sleek design with a meaningful message.
2. Unity Rhythm Watch Face
Coming soon via a software update for Apple Watch Series 6 or newer, the Unity Rhythm watch face draws inspiration from the Sport Loop.
Its numerals, formed by red, green, and yellow loops, dynamically come together to display the time when the watch is raised. The face also features “distinctive, rhythmic chimes” that sound every hour and half-hour, adding an auditory touch to the theme of rhythm and unity.
3. Unity Rhythm Wallpaper for iPhone and iPad
Matching the watch face, the Unity Rhythm wallpaper for iPhone and iPad showcases digital strands in red, green, and yellow that spell out the word “Unity.”
Expected to launch with iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, the wallpaper ties the collection together, offering a unified aesthetic across Apple devices.
Supporting Black Communities Worldwide
Apple continues its tradition of giving back by providing grants to organizations that promote Black culture and arts. Beneficiaries include:
- Ellis Marsalis Center for Music in New Orleans
- Battersea Arts Centre in London
- Music Forward Foundation in Los Angeles
- Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney
- The National Museum of African American Music in Nashville
These initiatives underline Apple’s dedication to fostering creativity and empowering Black communities worldwide.
Pricing and Availability
The Black Unity Sport Loop (42mm and 46mm) is available now on Apple’s online store for RM199 and will be in retail locations starting this week. The Unity Rhythm watch face and wallpaper will roll out with upcoming software updates, likely in the next few months.
