supposedly: because the blacks in oled don't emit any light, making them deeper and thus creating the effect of "nothingness". Otherwise, it would be grey, not as deep and the animation would feel cheap.So, why exactly does the S have to have an OLED display in order for this to work?
Who cares? Am i in a competition?Yawn......
How long has android had Live Wallpaper????

Sorry, but in the world of technology, an announcement that something "new" is coming when in fact it's already 3 years old, really isn't something to get excited about. You should have been angry the past 3 years that you DIDN'T have it. But that's life in the walled garden called Apple.Irrelevant. You had to use an android to see it. Not worth losing all my cross-device/app integration just to get live wallpaper.
This is why we like it when we get features like this. Doesn't matter how long someone else may have had it, now we get it too without having to lose the rest of the stuff we can't live without.

I hope it's not only an iPhone 6s feature.
OLED would be great. All of the above plus of course the A9 chip, 7000 Aluminum and improved TouchId sure is a plate-full for an S-update.Is it me or does Apple seem to be going all out on this S version of the iPhone? So far we have (as rumours until Apple announce)
2GB Ram
Force Touch
12MP camera
And now the possibility of an OLED screen
womder if Apple will be updating other products as much at their September event. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Unlikely at this event, iPads are usually announced at a separate October event.

Well, nothing has been announced per se. Just the usual rumor mill prior to a new release. Honest question, you think people should be "angry" that iOS doesn't have this trivial feature? I'd agree with you about people crowing about OLED after being told as long as we have that it is inferior (which is kinda is depending on your needs). That is a major shift. But dippy animations?? Sheesh, I agree with eoblaed, I would not trade the security and reliable updates of the Apple ecosystem for a dozen different animations or icons that wink at you. YMMV, of course.Sorry, but in the world of technology, an announcement that something "new" is coming when in fact it's already 3 years old, really isn't something to get excited about.

Just like Ive said, without OLED, motion wallpapers won't look alive... Let's hope for OLED screens.
Normally, my phone doesnt show the exact same image 24/7, 365. So burn in wouldnt be a problem, specially not during the typical 2 year upgrade cycle.
I hope it's not only an iPhone 6s feature.
Why the **** is it an iPhone 6S feature and not an iOS feature? Since when did hardware affect which wallpapers you could have? This is low even for Apple.

Personally, I'm much looking forward to the (rumored) totally revampedtv, with HomeKit and an App Store, as well as Skylake coming to the entire Mac line, although the latter may not happen till October.
and i'll express my dissatisfaction with the direction of this company which i helped make successful

Also, would this mean that there's a chance for an OLED display, since Jony Ive has previously said that the "magic" from these Apple Watch animated wallpapers were only possible with that technology? If it does, I hope they go 1080p.
Animated wallpaper is pointless.
It's just "noise" on the screen. A cognitive-overload-inducing distraction when you're trying to use your phone. The original iPhone did it best: plain black background for all.
I guess the marketing guys wanted it to grab your attention in a store display or something? That's the only "useful" function I can discern.
