lol, why not just turn everything off so it doesn't effect your battery.
Even better, there was a "hack" a few years back where you change your wallpaper to an image one pixel wide and it got rid of the icon background and the dock background, giving you a very cool looking black/dark mode. Apple quickly "fixed" the bug and we lost that dark mode. It'd be cool to be able to set something like that up again.
I'll vouch for Unsplash. Great app, no annoying ads. Great photos and since they are user submitted it's constantly got new ones.
Next year: Apple Cat Ultra. Comes in Space Gray and Silver, and of course with Retina Eyes, plus it supports AirDrop.
And I ask one simple question: why do I want something covering up the clock? Half the time the only reason I personally check my phone is to see what time it is.
Same goes for the Apple Watch: I cannot fathom why they won’t make it so that the watch hands become opaque as they pass over complications. What good is the digital time display or calendar or ::insert any complication here:: when it’s covered by the watch hand(s).
Oh well, maybe a future WatchOS update will fix that.

Don’t they still exist? The new wallpapers from the 14 Pro boxes was on mine when I checked the gallery this year
That's so cool you knew him that well.
Well hell, we'd better dig him up, then, because that means he's alive.
Unfortunately, you can have depth effect or you can have widgets, but you cannot have both. Choose wisely, sayeth Apple.
Some of those apps are just ad driven apps with more ads than function. They should tighten up those app guidelines..
I noticed that too. You are only allowed to cover barely the lower half of the clock. That means there has to be enough space above the object to fill out the rest of the screen. Basically heads have to be in the in the second quarter of the picture (counted from the top) or even lower.
Old iPhone wallpapers are out there if you do a google search. Save to photos and set as wallpaper. I have found some nice wallpapers linked to Aaron Zollo's YouTube channel although they a generally various colors and patterns and not cats and so forth.
When something is completely free, YOU are the product. YOUR data, location, browsing history, etc.
No company exists giving out free product with no strings attached.
I really enjoy MR source of good info and you're right. The first post they made about an app that could make lock screen shortcuts required a yearly subscription to be actually usable....
I come here for legit content not shilling...
Looked into Lockscreen+ and uninstalled within 10 seconds of opening the app. Who in their right mind would pay $3 a week for a wallpaper app? That’s the price of a Netflix subscription a month…
I understand that app subscriptions are the way forward but some of these seemingly useless apps are really pushing the limits of milking people for their money.
