The obvious designs of a brand new Apple Watch band and face for this 12 months’s Delight Month have been leaked on-line. They appear to reflect the ‘sprinkles’ theme first seen on the Apple Pay Later paintings seen final month, albeit (within the case of the watch face) with colours that match these of the Progress Delight Flag.
One commenter has speculated that the second hand might change shade relying on the realm it’s at the moment pointing to. The leaked picture doesn’t rule out this interesting thought, because it’s pointing to a yellow space of the background and is yellow, however doesn’t verify it both.
The designs have been posted to Twitter Wednesday by the leaker @aaronp613, who credit @nicolas09F9 for serving to with the invention however doesn’t in any other case reveal a lot about its origins. The photographs are possible, nonetheless, to have been unearthed within the code from the most recent iOS 16.5 beta.
As regards the reliability of the photographs, we will no less than verify that @aaronp613 is a prolific leaker with some notable wins, such because the discovery in April of code pointing to the launch of the Apple Card Financial savings account, which was adopted 4 days later by exactly that.

It typically makes these bulletins in Might, so the plans can be in place by late April; on the entire, we’d say that these pictures are in all probability legit.

Whereas the band appears much less clearly Delight-affiliated that these launched in earlier years, it’s value taking into consideration that we’re solely seeing a small part of it, and a stylised model of that. Based mostly on 2022 there could possibly be a emblem or phrase on the reverse.
