Guides · Newest first

Wallpaper guides: the release rungs, then the evergreen pair.

There are four guides. The two release guides each cover one iOS version or iPhone family, with the newest at the top. Older release guides stay in the list, because a phone bought in 2025 still needs its numbers in 2027. The two evergreen guides cover behavior that carries across releases: how the lock-screen depth effect decides, and how to pick an icon tint that stays readable on a real wallpaper.

How these guides are written

Every factual claim about someone else's software carries the date it was checked, because that kind of fact goes stale. On the release guides, the check date also sits in the readout at the top of the page. Anything reported only from a pre-release beta is labeled as a beta report, and pre-release material comes from public coverage and the maker's published statements. The guides make no predictions and are not updated on a fixed schedule.

Every screen size quoted in the guides comes from the site's single device table, which also drives the maker's picker and the size charts, so a guide, a chart and an export give the same number for the same phone. Each entry in the table was cross-checked against two independent published sources before it shipped. Where a guide shows wallpapers, they are original compositions rendered live by the site's own engine, and each card prints the seed, palette and device you need to make it again. None of them is anyone else's artwork.

Each guide states its limits where they apply. The depth-effect guides say that the phone's own segmentation makes the final call and that only the phone runs it, and the tinting guide says which half of its advice is arithmetic and which half is judgment. Where a tool can measure or make what a guide describes, the guide links to it: the checker, the matcher or the maker.
