Apple’s product announcements today go beyond new hardware. The company has also rolled out its Spring 2026 accessory collection, bringing fresh colours and new designs to the Apple Watch band and iPhone case lineup.

Spring Apple Watch band refresh

Apple’s Sport Band collection now includes three new colour options: Soft Pink, Clementine, and Bright Guava. The Sport Loop lineup has also been updated with Bright Guava with pink accents, Blue Mist with light blue accents, and Cantaloupe with tan detailing.

In India, Apple Watch bands — excluding the Hermès range — are priced at Rs 4,500.

The Hermès collection sees a more substantial refresh. The Hermès En Mer strap replaces previous Orange, Gris Titane, and Bleu Nuit options with Bleu Gris/Bleu Glacier and Noir/Bleu Nuit. The Hermès Scub’H Diving band introduces Orange Néon and Bleu Néon, while Noir remains available. Blanc and Gris Titane have been discontinued.

The Hermès Kilim Single Tour strap adds Jaune and Grège to its colour lineup.

Apple has also introduced a brand-new Hermès Néo Tricot strap. Inspired by Hermès sporting gloves from the 1930s, the Néo Tricot features a knitted openwork design aimed at improving breathability and comfort. It is available in Capucine and Bleu Nuit for 42mm and 46mm models, Argile for 46mm only, and Bleu Gris for 42mm only.

Another addition is the Hermès Toile H Double Jeu band, a silky, water-resistant strap that reinterprets Hermès’ signature checked canvas. It is available in Noir/Écru and Écru/Écru combinations.

Spring iPhone case refresh

Apple has also expanded its iPhone case lineup following the launch of the iPhone 17e.

For the new iPhone 17e, Apple is offering a Silicone Case with MagSafe priced at Rs 4,900. A Clear Case with MagSafe and a Beats-branded case are also available internationally.

Additionally, Apple has introduced new colour options for its Silicone Case with MagSafe for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. In India, the Silicone Case for the iPhone 17 lineup is priced at Rs 4,900.

Apple has also added a crossbody strap accessory, priced at Rs 5,900.
