Apple's iOS 18 and macOS will bring back famous old wallpapers

Not everything will be new at WWDC — Apple is planning to revisit some of its iconic iPhone and Mac wallpapers as part of the latest updates.

Less well-remembered is that the original iPhone also came with a choice of wallpapers that included the Mona Lisa and Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night. Whatever Apple brings back as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or the next version of macOS, though, it will have to update them for today's higher resolution screens. But 40 years after she designed the icons for the original Mac, it would be fun to see Susan Kare's work updated to become high-resolution, dynamic wallpapers.
