I can only assume Apple hasn't approved of devs creating live wallpapers yet, but i really hope this becomes a reality soon.

The stock ones get old REALLY quickly. Even though i absolutely LOVE many Android live wallpapers, i can only imagine iOS ones would be even better.

Anyone else want more?
 
I don't want more, waste of battery.

if done well live wallpapers use up little to no battery. I have a graphically intense 3D wallpaper on my 2013 Nexus 7, and even with heavy use (Netflix, gaming, web surfing, switching between apps) i get around 20 hours of use before a battery charge is needed.

They don't seem to effect that much (if at all) battery life on my iPhone 5s. I get more or less same amount of battery life as I would with static wallpaper. And yes, more wallpapers would be nice. Maybe Apple will change that on iOS 8 and open it up for developers to create more.
 
Yes, please!

Remember the liveliness of the 12 Days of Gifts app? That one as a wallpaper for Christmas would've been awesome.
 
sure, why not...Apple added in Dynamic wallpapers but doesn't seem to be a way to add your own. so, they mast as well offer up some more...or a way to build them.

**I don't use them, but know some might
 
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Apple will include more Dynamic wallpapers with the 7.1 Golden Master like they did with the 7.0 Golden Master.
