iPhone 16 Pro Max wallpapers
Armchair pundits will always say the current iPhone lineup isn’t as impressively different than last year’s generation. Personally, I like that my iPhone 16 Pro Max is 0.2 inches larger than its predecessor and has an increased screen resolution of 2868 x 1320 pixels.
The bigger 6.9-inch display is possible as a combination of two critical hardware updates: the device itself being physically larger (3mm taller and 1mm wider) and the bezels shockingly smaller (yet again).
The following high-quality wallpapers are cropped photographs from individual artists, curated from unsplash.com, one of the largest license-free photographer repositories.
You can find each artist name in the file and a link to their individual profiles below.

New iOS 18 options and even more wallpapers
Here in the iDB Wallpapers of the Week community, I speak for everyone when I admit to being excited at new iPhone wallpapers with a slightly more expansive screen experience. Additionally, iOS 18 lets you arrange widgets and icons anywhere on the grid, and there’s an option to hide the icon labels, something I’ve wanted since Springtomize.
If you love gorgeous backgrounds for your Apple devices (and who doesn’t!), then keep your eyes peeled for new downloads every Sunday. I curate the collection via @jim_gresham on X. Follow along for mid-week downloads, sneak peeks of upcoming posts, and general Apple banter.
