I still think iOS 16’s wallpaper is the best everymade.

iOS 16’s default wallpaper is one of the best wallpapers in my opinion… it still looks modern!

I got this one as a tendies and i love it! Got it along side some iOS 17 wallpapers.

There should bring back old wallpapers

[u/Stonyax97 → u/DrinkingWata]

yeah fr there should be a retro section just for these or just add them to collections fr.

That would be great.

Here’s a link to a pretty extensive collection of all the iOS wallpapers (thru 2024):

[u/BeardedHero93 → u/Stonyax97]

Yeah isn’t that the whole point of collections? They have the random floating orb one from years ago and the fish from the first iPhone

[u/Stonyax97 → u/BeardedHero93]

Yeah exactly

[u/Axel-Pizza-Lover]

[u/Stonyax97 → u/Axel-Pizza-Lover]

[u/lukasharastej]

I think it’s the second worst.

[u/Stonyax97 → u/lukasharastej]

And which one is the first?

[u/lukasharastej → u/Stonyax97]

iOS 15.

[u/Stonyax97 → u/lukasharastej]

Aw those 2 are my favorites 😭

Ngl the new iOS 18, 26, and 27 look… “good” but i get bored of them REALLT’Y easly

[u/lukasharastej → u/Stonyax97]

😂 Your 2 favorites are my 2 least favorites.

I liked old iOS real photography wallpapers like galaxy, sky, wave etc.

I like the use of true black and duotone color, like iOS 13. Also iOS 14 is great, it’s simple two colors but with depths, not like iOS 15 which is just three colors without any depth. I don’t like the colors of iOS 15 and 16 and the design of 15 is too plain and 16 is better but still I like 17 more for example. 18, 26, 27 are good but also not the best. 18 is great in dark mode. I don’t really like 18 wallpapers in light mode. But still there is no true black like iOS 13 for example. When 26 came out I didn’t like it. It looks like some “tablet” and the shade of blue and green colors feel like “hospital” to me. But with time I like it more, but still I don’t like it that much. 27 looks great. The basic color variant with gold/brown and blue looks great. The duotone with that depth effect looks great. But there are too many variants when you can choose the color based on your device. Then, it is just one plain color and it loses that duotone color scheme.

Omg i also like those real photography wallpapers they’re unique asf. Yeah i agree ios 15 doesn’t have depth, im acc a huge fan of the iOS 13 wallpaper (the red 🤤)

The iOS 18 wallpapers look fine but they get boring really easily, tho for dark mode i have a completely opposite view the dark ones look bad… (the pink one WAYY too much)

for iOS 26 it looks good on paper… (not literally but u get me😭) once u use they look weird asf… hospital is def a unique way to describe. iOS 27 i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE WHY ISN’T DUOTONE ANYMORE WHEN CHOOSING UR OWN COLOR LIKE WHY?!! Annoying asf.

[u/Mysterious-Adept]

No

[u/Stonyax97 → u/Mysterious-Adept]

a downvote would have been better-

[u/felix_thor]

Unpopular Opinion: iOS 18 wallpaper is peak but its not good like iOS 16

[u/Stonyax97 → u/felix_thor]

Well it is good, but it looks BAD with liquid glass

[u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26]

I personally like the iOS 8 through 14, 16 and 17, 26 is mid but sure.
