Depth PaperGuides · Newest first
Wallpaper guides: the release rungs, then the evergreen pair.
There are five guides. The three 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 practical checks: how to check photo layering and clock contrast, 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, the iPhone size chart and the Android size chart for Pixel and Galaxy phones, 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 guide explains that pixel dimensions, framing and contrast cannot certify which wallpaper effects the iPhone will offer. The tinting guide separates arithmetic from visual judgment. Where a tool can measure or make what a guide describes, the guide links to it: the checker, the matcher or the maker.
