So I am seeing all these new wallpapers for the 2018 MBP, oddly I have a brand new 2018 MBP and none of these wallpapers are installed. Anyone know where they are?
 
My 2018 15" with 10.13.6 did not come with the new wallpapers installed either. I downloaded the purple one and decided I didn't really like it and went back to Ink Cloud.
 
Same for me, but I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything over from my 12" MacBook, so I was assuming that since they weren't on my MacBook, the weren't on the Pro. Glad I'm not the only one.

I used Migration Assistant also and thought the same thing.
 
I have Ink Cloud, but I didn't have the purple swirly one that's been featured in a lot of the press pictures and reviews online.

It doesn't seem that anyone has them. I don't either. Maybe they are just promotional images.

Apparently not. That is weird. I am going to call Apple and ask.

I don't have that either.
 
When the first Retina MacBook Pro came out there was a similar thread for an elusive wallpaper of zebras or something... it was never shipped but someone posted a copy.

Apple often advertises with wallpapers they don’t ship, probably for licensing reasons because they generally turn out to be wallpapers made by a third party, not by Apple.

In fact with regards to the zebra one, the photographer was apparently approached to buy the image for promotional materials and had no idea it was Apple.

Even if Apple wanted to include them, it seems the earliest 2018 Pros came off the production line in the second week of June, which was quite possibly before Apple had even made the marketing materials.
