iOS 26.5 is launching very soon, and the RC that debuted today revealed that Apple’s latest Pride wallpaper actually comes in 11 colorful variations, plus a custom option for creating your own.
iOS 26.5’s Pride wallpaper is actually a collection of 11 colorful options, plus a custom builder
Earlier today, Apple announced that it’s launching a new Pride wallpaper in iOS and iPadOS 26.5.
The company also just shipped the iOS and iPadOS 26.5 RC builds. These releases gave developers and public beta users access to the new wallpaper ahead of the public launches.
And it turns out, the new wallpaper offers more than we expected.
iOS 26.5 includes 11 distinct versions of the Pride wallpaper, all in a variety of fun colors that pair beautifully with Apple’s Liquid Glass design.
Joining these 11 unique variants is a custom builder that lets you manually choose which colors are featured in your iPhone wallpaper.
This custom builder lets you select as few as 1 and as many as 12 different colors from the color picker. Each color you select is combined to form your new custom wallpaper.
So if Apple’s 11 pre-built options don’t offer enough variety for you, iOS 26.5 lets you create the perfect, colorful and glassy wallpaper for you.
And be sure to check out the dimmed version when your iPhone is in Always-On display mode. The transition to full color is pretty great.
