Pastel wallpapers inspired by iPhone 12

It seems Apple turned both October and November into extended iPhone celebration months. While it is frustrating to wait for all four new models to arrive on store shelves and ship to homes, the amount of ongoing excitement is contagious. While tech reviewers continue to pound YouTube with unboxings, initial reviews, and more in depth reviews, digital artists continue to develop inspired iPhone 12 wallpapers. This pastel wallpapers pack inspired by the official iPhone 12 wallpapers is a great addition to your screens and our Wallpapers of the Week collection.

For that, you'll need Apple's new 20W charger which must be purchased separately for $19 a pop.
