Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 18, 2018

In standard Wallpapers of the Week fashion, we try to maintain modern relevance. That means, keeping in touch with the big pop culture items of our time. One of the biggest comic book franchises released their newest installment of the Avengers series, Age of Ultron.

We are still in opening weekend, so a total box office number is currently unknown. However, it will certainly be a hit with lines waiting to get a ticket. What better way to get excited than deck your iOS devices with Avengers wallpaper? Step inside for an assortment of treasures.

Exclusive Apple Watch-inspired wallpapers

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

This past week marks the Apple Watch release date, April 24, 2015. Although the date has come under fire, at least a few pre-orders were filled and May/June ship dates are seeing movement. Since the pre-order launch on April 10, Apple removed the April 24 date from the online Apple Stores and Angela Ahrendts released an internal memo all but confirming in-store sales are not going to happen until around June.

Inside, we have the single largest wallpaper selection in an iDB post. Thanks to some great work by Jason Zigrino and Efrain Roa, there are enough images in there to keep you busy while waiting for your device. There are images for iPhone, iPad, and desktop in a wide range of colors that will match any new Apple Watch you are hoping to have in your hands.

Star Wars wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Star Wars Celebration ends today after a lot of stirrings in the Force. During the previous few days, both the newest Episode VII and Battlefront trailers were publicly released. Panels of cast members shared stories and hopes for the future, including classic cast members from Luke to Chewie to Leia and even the newest droid BB-8. Naturally, thousands of fans flocked to Anaheim for the occasion. If you want to follow along with the last day, make sure to download the official Star Wars Celebration app for either iPad or iPhone.

Following the renewed excitement for Star Wars after the event, we compiled a small list of Star Wars wallpapers. We have never highlighted Star Wars wallpapers in a past Wallpapers of the Week post for a simple reason: there are way to many to choose from. Consequently, this post is in no way an attempt to provide access to all of the best Star Wars wallpapers ever created. Merely, this post is a single entry in the much larger world of Star Wars walls.

WWDC 2015 wallpapers: the epicenter of change

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Earlier today, Apple sent out invitations to their 2015 Worldwide Developer Conference to be held Monday, June 8 through Friday June 12. As with all previous WWDC events, it is safe to assume the five-day conference will begin with a kick-off press event and announcement.

In recent years, Apple used WWDC to show off and highlight major renovations to iOS and OS X. With the Apple Watch launch this spring, it is possible Apple may even highlight new opportunities for Watch OS, including native applications for the new flagship device.

Of course, to celebrate, we have included event invitation-inspired wallpapers to match "The epicenter of change" graphics. Step inside to see the handy work of our readers.

Game of Thrones wallpapers for iPhone

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated September 4, 2022

Today, the highly anticipated new Game of Thrones season launches on HBO. Other than another twisting plot, one of the biggest Game of Thrones change is the HBO NOW streaming service launch. The newest service allows Apple device owners to sign up for a free 30 day trial and $14.99/month service following the trial. HBO NOW provides access to all legacy content, movies, documentaries, and current content. It is the same as signing up through a cable provider, but without the headache and added expense of cable television packages. Having signed up myself, I am looking forward to being able to watch new seasons without waiting for iTunes downloads or the Blu Ray box set.

In typical style, the best way to hype a launch is with a daily reminder on your favorite devices. Wallpapers included past the fold are all Game of Thrones images and should get you prepped for the ensuing blood bath that will be episode one.

Apple Watch wallpapers for iPhone, iPad, and desktop

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

This Friday marks the pre-order date for Apple Watch. You will even be able to walk into a store and try on Apple's newest device. In what has become one of the most anticipated Apple launches since the original iPhone, we are properly celebrating with Apple Watch wallpapers.

As described throughout the launch process, utilizing an Apple Watch will require pairing with an iPhone. The first time the Watch is paired with an iPhone, a short animation video on the Watch will confirm the connection. In a recent, lengthy, and very informative Wired article, a must read for any avid fan, a still capture of the confirmation image is portrayed.

Just beyond the fold, the confirmation image is displayed and our readers were inspired to make wallpapers. Starting with a push from @IanFuchs, we received several variations, which you can download for multiple devices.

Bokeh wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

With another week, comes another set of images for Wallpapers of the Week. Previous posts include popular sections such as geometric wallpapers and galaxy images. However, there are a few wallpaper categories that have yet to be covered within the iDB community.

In today's post we highlight a traditional wallpaper genre, bokeh. Lens tricks and lighting changes determine and define the bokeh genre. As exampled in these standard representations below, focal point and background lighting define0 the imagery.

Supercar wallpapers for iPhone

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Each week we throw out a set of images in the Wallpapers of the Week section. With a long weekly run of more than 18 months, it continues to be a popular post. However, despite the running record, a single yet popular genre continues to be ignored.

This week, we right our wrong as we feature hand-selected Supercar wallpapers for iPhone. If this proves to be another top performer, along with galaxy images and geometric shapes, expect to see more in the future. Show your approval by sharing via Twitter or Facebook with the buttons at the top or bottom of the post.

New Macbook wallpapers for iPad, iPhone, and Desktop

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Last week, Apple surprised us with a completely redesigned MacBook. Of course, there were leaks in the months leading up to the event, but the new technology and form factor is very astonishing. With a thinner design, new keyboard, Force Touch trackpad, and micro logic board, it is clear Apple is pushing laptop computing forward. Even the USB-C is striking.

In the opening video, a glimmering bubble floats into the Retina MacBook screen corner, showing off color depth and a glass-edged screen. In this week's Wallpapers of the Week post, Jason Zigrino captures the bubble for all devices.

Apple Watch app icons wallpapers for iPhone, iPad, and desktop

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Tomorrow, Apple pulls off the veil on Apple Watch final details. With the "Spring Forward" event, several years of speculation finally come to a point. Last week, several final pieces of information were leaked, but many more questions still remain.

Apple stands to completely disrupt the wearable device category, as it has done with both iPhone and iPad. While other competitors have the early jump, it could be possible for Apple Watch to become the new standard, to which all future wearable technologies are benchmarked. To celebrate, add these wallpapers today.

Apple Watch event wallpapers: Spring Forward

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Last week, Apple sent media invitations to an event on March 9. It is widely expected the main subject will be the forthcoming Apple Watch, which Tim Cook announced will be available in April 2015. With the invitation reading "Spring Forward," it is much less cryptic than previous invite wording. "Spring forward" is a common phrase to help people remember to set their clocks forward, ending daylight savings time. The key here being the overt reference to a device telling time. Further, March 9 is the day after the end of daylight savings time.

Per usual, iDownloadBlog wants to help everyone celebrate the moment by highlighting event inspired wallpapers. Inside, you will find versions of the invitation for iPhone, iPad, and desktop.

Gorgeous galaxy wallpapers for iPhone and iPad

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 17, 2018

Last week, we featured a set of simple geometric wallpapers and it became one of the most popular Wallpapers of the Week posts, ever! Thank you! Not coincidentally, the preamble to the post described geometric images as a top selection over the past year.

To tempt fate, allow us to try a repeat performance from a short seven days ago. From our research, there is one other wallpaper genre that outperforms all other genres on our wallpaper section: galaxies. Galaxies are a continually popular image set and we preset another curated list just past the fold. Make sure to share the post with your friends, as we work to make this week's post the most popular in reader history!
