Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

With the iPhone 6s releasing on Friday, everyone is getting excited about the new features offered by the updated hardware. Naturally, one of the features I am most excited about is the option for dynamic wallpapers. The live wallpapers are a combination of iOS 9 and iPhone 6s hardware operability. If you downloaded iOS 9 this week, you will notice the motion wallpapers are missing from the list, due to their iPhone 6s exclusivity.

Inside, we have still images of the live wallpapers for iPhone 6s. The images are quite stunning, even if they are not in motion. Step inside for the option to download six iPhone 6s dynamic wallpaper still images for your current device!

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

We continue the Wallpapers of the Week section with sunset wallpapers. This natural beauty is hard to synthesize and these photographs capture the colors extremely well. An inspiration for today's wallpapers today is the new iPhone Rose Gold edition. Several of the images include strong hints of pink, which should pair nicely with your Rose Gold iPhone or Apple Watch. If you ordered a Rose Gold version, start looking out for new wallpapers that will show off your new iPhone.

The Wallpapers of the Week section continues with geometric images. This category has been popular over the course of our wallpaper section and today bolsters the collection. Geometric wallpapers add a flash of color and texture to iPhone's Lock and Home screens. With iOS 7+ these images can drastically change the look of your device because the opacity changes drastically across the UI. In addition to grabbing some fresh new versions, inside is also a back catalogue of previous posts that include similarly tailored options.

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Whether Apple fanboys want to admit it or not, there are other providers in the market that have some decent offerings. If you didn't know, Redmi Note 2 is a recent release by Xiaomi in the budget smartphone category ($125), but it boasts a full HD display at 401 ppi. While Xiaomi's Redmi Note 2 overall hardware package is not our cup of tea, the stock wallpapers are worth a download.

Wallpapers of the week: there’s nothing quite like iPhone

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Apple always posts excellent background images when highlighting their devices on their website. However, they do not always include their creations in iOS releases, leaving avid wallpaper fanatics lacking. It would be amazing if Apple included these images in a downloadable form.

A new Apple marketing series has them touting iPhone specific features. With a new line of "if it's not an iPhone" TV commercials, the Cupertino based company now has a dedicated website that features similar justifications. The "Why there's nothing quite like an iPhone website" highlights several features of their flagship device that cannot be replicated on other hardware. The page uses great graphics, three of which we have downloadable today for iPhone, iPad, and desktop.

Textured pattern wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Continuing the Wallpapers of the Week section, we turn to simplistic images. Often, patterns and textures make for great Home and Lock screen images because they can be colorful, but not distract from the UI elements, like the clock or app icons. Personally, I prefer this style wallpaper due to the simplistic nature of the images.

Below the fold, you will find several walls to choose from, which will bring nice contrast to your devices, even if color isn't a requirement to do so.

Yosemite National Park wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 7, 2018

Before focus shifts completely to El Capitan this fall, we wanted to capture the wholistic beauty of Yosemite National Park instead of focusing on a single mountain. The park, which is the focal point of the two most recent OS X operating system naming conventions, was first protected in 1864.

Totaling 1,200 square miles, Yosemite is accentuated by natural valleys and steep rising cliffs, formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Four million visitors trek to the park each year to take in the beauty. We are continuing the Wallpapers of the Week section to highlight that natural allure.
