Who doesn’t love a bit of nostalgia? My first exposure to the Apple ecosystem was an iPod. From there, I was obsessed with the brand and technology. It spawned my blogging career, which landed me at iDB. It pushed me into the iOS and macOS ecosystems as well.
Since 2006 when I opened that iPod package, I’ve been a fanboy. This iPod wallpaper collection takes this iPod-inspired design and adds it to our modern iPhone Lock Screens. Choose from one of seven candy colors to celebrate both the present and the past.
iPod wallpaper for iPhone

Today’s creative wallpapers are by @Papers_app, which moderates the Papers Wallpapers app, where you can find thousands of high quality wallpapers and backgrounds for iPhone. Download the app to get even more awesome images. The Twitter account offers previews of the downloads you can find in the app.
Below is a small selection of the total iPod wallpapers for iPhone. The selected downloads all include a white dial. You can download the Papers Wallpapers app or visit the Papers_app homepage for downloads in additional colors, including black dials. Here you can also find icon packs for iOS apps to fully customize your setup.
To help influence the iDB Wallpapers of the Week collection, catch up with me on X via @jim_gresham. Please send over your favorite images for consideration and a shout out on future posts. If you aren’t the original artist, no sweat, just give credit where possible. At the least, shoot over a URL for your favorite repos where I can find additional selections.
As we near the iPhone 16 announcement, make sure to stay close for Apple Event inspired downloads. And, if you find a great invite inspired image, send it my way for a special edition of the Wallpapers of the Week.
