Mobile versions are available for iPhone and iPad for free in a variety of different color options. The best part, though, is that there are dynamic wallpapers that change throughout the day. Simpson has designed a wide array of options that use color schemes from more recent versions of macOS as well.

The set is called “Aquex” – clearly an homage to aqua.

P.S.: these wallpapers also look amazing on a Windows computer too.England based designer Hector Simpson has created a beautiful set of new wallpapers for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS inspired by the classic blue wave designs that were a staple in early versions of Mac OS X. You can find the entire collection on the website mentioned above, and scroll download to also find the versions specifically aimed at other Apple devices (iPad and iPhone) if you don’t want to get the entire pack on your desktop computer. The 6K resolution makes them look unbelievably good, especially on larger displays that support the P3 color space. It's not perfect, but this was the best I could do,” he said.ĭon’t trust Rafa when he says these wallpapers aren’t perfect. “Nothing fancy, I tracked down original versions of the wallpapers, upscaled them using Machine Learning, applied a P3 color space, Machine Learning to de-noise, and then manually tweaked them to more closely match how I remembered them. But on the other hand, the developer reckons there’s nothing fancy in the process of borrowing an old wallpaper and then remastering it in 6K resolution. If you think this was an easy business, it’s not something that the Average Joe can do. So you can download the full pack of wallpapers in 6K resolution from his website, along with versions specifically optimized for iPhone, iPad, and the Mac desktop. In other words, they’re old wallpapers that look like new, all thanks to developer Rafael Conde who made the whole thing possible and, even more importantly, released everything free of charge online. There’s no mistake in there because what we have here is a pack of the original Mac OS X wallpapers remastered in 6K resolution and supporting the full P3 wide color gamut. If you’re looking to refresh your desktop and want a high-quality wallpaper, how about using a new old background that comes in 6K resolution?
