Apple refreshed a few of its product and accessory lines with new colorways in Spring 2023, including the iPhone, accessories, and Apple Watch bands.
Apple often updates its product and accessory lineups each spring with new colors, and 2023 brought a new iPhone, cases, and Apple Watch bands. Accessories, especially bands for the Apple Watch, are a popular item sold by Apple. It typically unveils a slew of fresh cases and bands at its annual fall event, where it debuts the latest iPhone and Apple Watch. However, Apple also does a mid-year refresh in March. This usually brings colors that match the season, and occasionally coincides with a spring event. This year, Apple showcased the iPhone’s newest color and a few new versions of its most popular accessories.
The most notable change was to the iPhone 14 lineup, which gained a new bright yellow colorway. Apple’s latest iPhone 14 color matches a shift in the industry towards neon colors that stand out. That makes the yellow found on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus a lot different from other yellows in Apple’s product line, putting it more in line with the new Volt Yellow color on the Beats Fit Pro. Beyond the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus refresh, Apple has a few cases and Apple Watch bands to ring in the season.
New iPhone Cases & Apple Watch Bands
There are four new case colors: canary yellow, olive, sky, and iris. Canary yellow is another bright color to compliment the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus’ new colorway, but buyers looking for a subdued tone can grab the existing sunglow color option. The sky color is a pastel blue, while the iris color is a deeper purple. Olive is similar to other Apple colors bearing the same name, and it’s a dark green.
The sky, olive, and canary yellow colors also come to Apple Watch bands and match the iPhone 14 case colors. There’s also new sprout green, purple fog, and bright orange color options available. The purple fog is much lighter in color than the iris iPhone case, and the sprout green is just as bright as the canary yellow color. Bright orange is as bright as the name suggests, and it would compliment the orange accents of the Apple Watch Ultra well.
The new Apple Watch band colors are available on the Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop, and Sport Band. Though the yellow color is only coming to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, the new case colors fit all iPhone 14 models, including the Pro series. Apple‘s spring accessories can be ordered starting today, while the new iPhone 14 color can be pre-ordered starting March 10.
