Original Apple wallpapers optimized for iPhone

Our Wallpapers of the Week collection brings you photo quality images every Sunday. There are many different genres scattered across the section, but one stands out as particularly popular. Anything that is an Apple original always receives the most views. These have been media event wallpapers, advertising imagery, or in this case, original Apple wallpapers for iPhone.

Apple removed many of these original iPhone, iPad, and Mac wallpapers, but thanks to @AR72014, we have 45 of them optimized for iPhone X devices! 

The 45-wallpaper collection is almost all previous iOS wallpapers. The only missing few could not technically be optimized at a photo quality standard for the larger iPhone screen.

Download the original Apple wallpapers

There are several important notes about this original collection of Apple wallpapers before you begin a downloading rampage.

First, they are in no particular order, meaning their association with an iOS release is not specifically ordered below. Second, they are optimized for iPhone X, which means they will fit all iPhone devices, but are scaled for iPhone X. When setting them as wallpaper on other devices, you will need to zoom slightly. Third, it is not an exhaustive collection, as mentioned above. Follow @AR72014 for any additional releases, if they are possible. Furthermore, there are no versions of these original Apple wallpapers optimized for tablets. If there were, I would have already included them. Finally, there is no zip file because file size, even when compressed is gigantic.

I personally curate our Wallpapers of the Week collection via @jim_gresham. It is on Twitter I interact with many of the artists who are featured in our collection. You can submit images to me, originals or not, via Twitter and should follow along for mid-week updates or even extra downloads!

Again, many thanks to AR7, for making such an original collection of Apple wallpapers.
