Apple Watch Solo Loop (Sprout Green, 45 mm, Size 12, Spring 2023)

The Solo Loop Apple Watch band was released in 2020 along with the Apple Watch Series 6. The packaging describes this product as a “Silicone Fitted Band.” According to Apple’s website:

“Made from liquid silicone rubber, the Solo Loop features a unique, stretchable design with no clasps, buckles, or overlapping parts that’s ultracomfortable to wear and easy to slip on and off your wrist. Each band is specially treated with UV to give the band a silky, smooth finish. It’s also swim proof and sweat proof so it can go just about anywhere you want to wear it.”

The color of this band is Sprout Green, a shade of bright green (almost neon). It was available in 41 mm and 45 mm widths, and was sold in specific wrist sizes. The 41 mm Solo Loop was sold in wrist sizes 1–9, and the 45 mm Solo Loop was sold in wrist sizes 4–12.

According to Apple’s website, “This band comes in custom sizes because it’s designed for an ultracomfortable fit. An accurate measurement will help you get the size that’s right for you.” The website allowed buyers to download a PDF and cut out a “tool” that wrapped around the wrist to designate the band size needed.

This snug-fitting design allowed Apple Watch sensors to retain constant and consistent skin contact, allowing accurate blood oxygen and heart rate measurements to be maintained.

Apple Camp #todayatapple T-Shirt (bright green with orange printing, 2XL, 2022)

Beginning in the 2010s, Apple Stores began hosting “Apple Camp” events for school-aged children. In 2017, Apple Stores began hosting Today at Apple (#todayatapple) events and continued the Apple Camp idea as a part of this program. Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice president of retail at that time, said:

“‘Today at Apple’ is one of the ways we’re evolving our experience to better serve local customers and entrepreneurs. We’re creating a modern-day town square, where everyone is welcome in a space where the best of Apple comes together to connect with one another, discover a new passion, or take their skill to the next level. We think it will be a fun and enlightening experience for everyone who joins.”

Apple Camp events were taught by Creative Pros, Apple’s “liberal arts equivalent” to its technical Geniuses. As of 2024, Apple’s website has a single mention of Apple Camp:

“This year at Apple Camp, kids ages 6–10 created their own interactive storybooks inspired by kindness on iPad with Apple Pencil. Sign up to be the first to know about the next Apple Camp.”

This t-shirt was provided to those who participated in an Apple Camp experience in approximately 2022. The shirt is bright green with a bright orange logo featuring hand-drawn sketches that fill the shape of an Apple logo. The t-shirt is size 2XL and includes its original cardboard packaging.

My collection includes an earlier design of this t-shirt that uses a yellow logo and the word “Camp,” before Apple Camp was associated with Today at Apple.

AirTag Leather Key Ring (Forest Green, 2023)

The AirTag Leather Key Ring was designed to contain an Apple AirTag, a small, disc-shaped accessory that uses Apple’s Find My network to easily locate items.

This color of the AirTag Leather Key Ring was among Apple’s final accessory offerings in leather when they discontinued the material’s use in 2023 due to environmental concerns. In a September 2023 press release, Apple reported, “Apple has…ended the use of leather across all of its product lines.”

According to Apple:

“The leather key ring is thoughtfully crafted from the finest materials. The stainless steel is as striking as it is strong, while the European leather is specially tanned and soft to the touch. And it fits snugly over your AirTag, so you never have to worry about it falling out.”

When the AirTag was released, “a wide range of Apple-designed AirTag accessories” were also available. Accessories included: a Polyurethane Loop, a Leather Loop, and a Leather Key Ring. In addition, Apple and Hermès introduced the AirTag Hermès with an “assortment of handcrafted leather accessories including the Bag Charm, Key Ring, Travel Tag, and Luggage Tag.” The Hermès accessories were sold with a custom-engraved AirTag with the Hermès Clou de Selle logo.

This AirTag Leather Key Ring is Forest Green, shade of dark green.
