Welcome to a new installment of iDownloadBlog’s Editor’s Desk weekly column in which we round up everything that was published on iDownloadBlog.com from May 4 through 10.

Let’s Talk iOS: I’ll show you mine if you show me yours

In episode #342 of iDownloadBlog’s “Let’s Talk iOS” podcast, your favorite duo discusses the new 13-inch MacBook Pro and its place in Apple’s product line. They then talk about Apple’s latest financial quarter, which turned out to be not bad at all, before sharing what they’ve been watching on TV (bonus: they’re both growing a beard, and Sebastien built another watch).

Be sure to follow your hosts @Sebastien and @melvco and don’t forget to send a tweet to @LTiOS_fm if you’d like your question answered at the end of next week’s podcast.

Talk to you next week!

Wallpapers: OLED-optimized Fold collection

This week’s collection brings you colorful wallpapers with folds and bubbles that are optimized for OLED iPhones by taking advantage of both that color pop and complete true black canvas.

Creator @RshBfn describes these walls as “random blobs with folds and overlaps, mainly on one side of the screen to account for widgets and setups.”

Submit images for consideration to our wallpaper chief Jim Gresham via @jim_gresham.
