What makes a popular iPhone wallpaper

The most downloaded wallpapers tend to share a few traits: a calm area near the top where the clock sits, strong colour or contrast that still looks good behind app icons, and enough detail to stay sharp on a high-resolution screen. Dark and true-black designs rank highly because they look deep on OLED iPhones, while warm landscapes and liquid-chrome abstracts are favourites for the lock screen.

Rankings update as people download, so this page changes over time. Every wallpaper here is free and comes cut to the exact resolution of each iPhone model; open one to preview it on your lock screen, or browse by category or iPhone model.
