Every Sunday our iDB Wallpapers of the Week gallery is updated with photo quality images for your favorite Apple devices. Around Apple events, even special mid-week posts provide inspired wallpapers that reflect the invitations and newly launched hardware. Consequently, the site is updated with approximately 300 individual backgrounds per year. These are the 2024 top 10 wallpapers.
Top 10 wallpapers of 2024
To be considered in this end of year summary, the wallpaper article must have been posted in 2024. The criteria for the Top 10 slots was based on website traffic, meaning these articles were the most visited wallpaper posts, published this year.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the iPhone 16 related wallpaper posts were the most prominent of the collection. From the official iPhone 16 wallpapers to backgrounds made specifically for iPhone 16 Pro Max, the new flagship device drove eagerness for new backgrounds.
