As the holiday season continues to march forward, the time for your ugly sweater collection is nigh. If you are the one at a holiday party sporting the most epic, ugly sweater, this collection is for you. Digitally “sewing” each individual stitch, @BasicAppleGuy offers his labor of love in the last five years of Apple ugly sweater iPhone wallpapers.
Ugly sweater Apple wallpapers
You do not have to be a lover or wearer of overt ugly sweaters to appreciate the hand crafted experience in these iPhone wallpapers. Perhaps you would never have the audacity to wear such a sweater in person, but you would delight in dressing up your favorite handset in the festive holiday attire.
Wrap up your Home and Lock screen with a cozy design that is inspired by Apple device iconography in fun, festive colors.
The following five downloads are just a small smattering of the variations offered on BasicAppleGuy’s wallpaper gallery. The assortment I picked is a single download from the last five years of different, creative alternatives. Further more, each year the collection is offered in various device resolutions, including desktop, which you can find on his site.
Find your favorite by visiting the different edition posts: 2025 edition with 63,158 stitches for the Mac and 20,765 for the iPhone; 2024 collection for iPhone; 2023 iPhone versions with some cute dogs; 2023 options for desktop and Finder iconography; 2020 options with the six color Apple logo.
Find a dedicated BasicAppleGuy sub-gallery in our wallpaper collection as well!
You too can influence the upcoming iDB Wallpapers of the Week collection.
