WWDC 2017 wallpapers and logo pack

Tomorrow, we await the media event during the kick off at WWDC 2017. The live stream (how to), which starts at 10:00AM Pacific, will bring us first glimpses of new hardware. It has been about three years since Apple last announced new hardware at the developer event, in addition to the standard operating system updates. While getting new iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS platforms is awesome, nothing really excites like getting a new device in-hand.

While we wait to hear whether Siri power speakers, 10.5" iPads, or any number of calculated guesses from Sébastien and Cody appear, update your iPhone wallpapers to celebrate with these WWDC 2017 wallpapers.

Wallpapers: Apple Store Dubai Mall

On April 27, Apple opened its second store in Dubai and third in the United Arab Emirates. In an attempt to mitigate the ever-changing local climate, Apple used 18 "Solar Wing" panels, comprised of 340 carbon fiber polymer rods to create an opening structure that closes to block the sun, but opens at night. Four million people have already visited the first two UAE in only 18 months. Today we feature a collection of wallpapers inspired by the Apple Store Dubai Mall.

The best wallpaper apps for iPhone

Every so often as an iPhone user, we get a little bored with the optics of our device and feel the need to give it a fresh coat of paint. Cases and skins aside, the fastest and most immersive option to shake things up visually is to go down the wallpaper path, which we very much love assisting you with here at iDB.

Granted there is no shortage of wallpapers anywhere on the internet, at the same time the ever-growing demand for more has also given rise to a bevy of unusable, flat-out lousy offers. So where to turn to for quality material you ask? We’ve got your back on that, as we have compiled a list of the best wallpaper apps available on the App Store today.

Time to dust off your iPhone’s home screen and live it up in your pocket!

Supercharge your iPhone wallpaper options with PanoramaPapers

Apple has always been boring when it comes to wallpaper options on the iPhone. They debuted ‘dynamic wallpapers’ when iOS 7 dropped, but to this day, you're still limited to Apple’s stock selection; otherwise, you have to use still images and you can’t change things beyond that.

To fix that problem, a new free jailbreak tweak called PanoramaPapers by iOS developer sst1337 can complement your device by letting it stand out from the rest. It lets you have different kinds of wallpaper layouts on your device, depending on the images you choose.
