Today, September 15, 2025, Apple’s team will drop the much anticipated iOS 26 release candidate for general availability. It will finally available for all compatible iPhone devices. The new Liquid Glass design uses translucency to create depth and intrigue. Pair these “GlassPulse” Liquid Glass wallpapers with your new UI.
iOS 26 Liquid Glass gradient wallpapers
An incredible set of 15 Liquid Glass wallpapers were created by @rajjaryaa and titled GlassPulse. Like the iOS 26 interface, GlassPulse mimics the design language. Using a complex gradient as the base, a soft layer glass is added over top, diffusing the color and light. The combination makes for an incredible set, perfect for Apple’s latest design language.
Of the 15 total images, Raj let us feature five in his perfect collection. Below capture a handful of designs that take inspiration from the newly released iPhone devices. In my mind, I’m seeing the iPhone 17 in Lavender, Mist Blue, and Sage. iPhone 17 Pro honored for Cosmic Orange and a bonus pink and orange option.
The entire GlassPulse pack be found on Raj’s kofi site, where you can download the entire pack.

Another way we are celebrating iOS 26 is with these incredible Depth Effect Lock Screen wallpapers. The new clock interface can be scaled to cover a majority of the screen and will playfully peak behind the subject of certain images. Below is a collection of wallpapers that match that capability, which were launched for our Sunday update.
