Wallpapers of the week: true black with colorful gradients

Jim Gresham ∙ January 27, 2019

Since the introduction of OLED screen technology with the iPhone X, having a true black wallpaper really sets apart the visual appeal of your wallpaper.

This causes the colorful part of the image to really pop against the black contrast.

Set iPhone wallpapers that change throughout the day with AutoWall

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 25, 2019

One of my favorite features in macOS Mojave is the dynamic wallpaper, which changes from a daytime desert landscape during the day to a nighttime desert landscape come nightfall. Apple is evidently capable of implementing something like this on the iOS platform as well, but they haven’t yet; and there’s no guarantee they ever will.

Fortunately, jailbreakers don’t need to wait. A free jailbreak tweak called AutoWall by iOS developer Julio Verne lets you have time-centric dynamic wallpapers on your iPhone or iPad – perfect for replicating macOS Mojave’s treasured feature on the iOS platform.
