Apple executive Greg Joswiak posted on X last week to reveal that a week of Mac announcements was coming up. With his tweet was a fun video highlighting the macOS Finder logo in an Apple Intelligence-y looking color pattern. Mac updates are expected each day, with potential updates coming to Mac peripherals, finally eliminating Lightning charging requirements. Celebrate the upcoming, week long event with these wallpapers.

From this tweet, regularly featured digital artist @BasicAppleGuy took the opportunity to clean up the video image into an iPhone-ready wallpaper. Download the wallpaper today, in anticipation of incredible updates to come.
In addition to the upcoming Mac-focused announcements, iOS 18.1 is anticipated to launch this coming week. With iOS 18.1 comes Apple Intelligence, Apple’s version of artificial intelligence, that is expected to increase the power and capability of Siri. While the first version of Apple Intelligence includes very basic capabilities, iOS 18.2 is also expected in the near term, which will bring with it more hotly anticipated features like Genmoji.
Apple Intelligence will see a new UI acknowledgement eschewing the Siri orb. A new rainbow band will circle the iPhone boarder when Siri is activated.
This band animation is captured in the wallpapers below, which are offered by Wallpapers Central’s @iSpazio. Up first are two versions, a light and dark mode of the Apple Intelligence band.
We anticipate a week of new products. Apple always announces new hardware with advertising wallpapers. As we see these new products come to market this week, I will be hoping to track down versions of these wallpapers for the iDB Wallpapers of the Week collection.
Shoot anything you find over to me on X via @jim_gresham, where I curate the iDB wallpaper gallery. I will be shouting those of you that help contribute to the posts where we highlight these new Apple inspired backgrounds! Follow allow for download alerts, once we have them posted.
