Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 11, 2018

Apple's iPhone 8 media event is scheduled for 10:00am Pacific Time on Tuesday, September 12. Each event is announced using media invitations that quickly make their way around the web. Using imagery available for the event, our community is always quick to create inspired wallpapers to celebrate the occasion. Within hours, I was flooded via @jim_gresham with submissions for our Wallpapers of the Week category. Thanks to all of our loyal readers and shout out to my followers for coming through in such a short timeframe!

Call to action: iPhone 8 wallpapers

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 7, 2018

The iDB team could not possibly be more excited for the upcoming iPhone 8. A completely redesigned form factor has been three years in the making. In my opinion, the crown jewel will be the new full screen OLED display. With OLED, the colors will be richer and the blacks, a true black. A new screen size, function area, and ear piece cut out will make wallpapers a new challenge.

Our Wallpapers of the Week collection has been able to greatly benefit from an unchanging resolution, for the past three years. But now, we are faced with a turning point in the device and, therefore, will need to dedicate efforts to provide wallpapers at the new resolution. This is a call to arms! I need your help to find or create amazing, photo quality images for the newest flagship device.

Wallpapers of the week: colorful geometry

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated October 26, 2018

Geometric patterns are a recurring favorite in the Wallpapers of the Week collection. The beauty is typically found in the way colors mix and match themselves among the many image facets. This set certainly fits the bill when it comes to both intriguing imagery and color schemes. Created by @DanielKorpai, a self-taught designer, the full set is included below, along with links to some of our geometric archived wallpaper sets.

Solar eclipse wallpapers

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated January 28, 2019

In less than 24 hours, the United States, from coast to coast, will experience a total solar eclipse. The two axis cities are Salem, Oregon to Charleston, SC. Speaking of Charleston, check out these amazing dual screen wallpapers from last week's Wallpapers of the Week post.

Along the axis, about 70 miles on each side, viewers will be able to see totality, a complete covering of the Sun by the Moon and only the corona will be viewable around the moon's edges.

The last total U.S. solar eclipse was in 1979 and the next will be 2023; however, a full and total solar eclipse that stretches the entire U.S. is unprecedented. Check out our complete solar eclipse wallpaper collection, which you don't need special glasses to see.

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated October 22, 2018

One of the all time top categories for Wallpapers of the Week is sky, stars, or galaxy images. Today, we place another batch of images in the iDB wallpaper annal, perfect for your black iPhone.

Live Photo Wallpapers for iPhone with Wally Papes

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated March 14, 2022

One of my favorite features of iOS is the ability to take Live Photos. It is shocking how drastically different a memory expresses itself over 3 seconds, as opposed to a single instance in time. I frequently find myself going back through a photo album, to play through each Live Photo.

Launching with the feature, came the ability to set Live Photos as wallpapers, both on the Lock and Home screens. However, there is really no great way to share Live Photos as posts on the internet. Dave Gorum comes to the rescue with Wally Papes, a curated collection of Live Photo wallpapers for your iPhone.
