So....I'm confused on whether to use the new apple wall papers or use one with a black background which hides the notch. What does everybody else think? Please post a picture of the one you are using.

Thanks
 
the dynamic ones.. yellow on lock.. blue elsewhere.

What’s the deal with the Live Walpapers? I have to 3D Touch to use them, and they only work on the Lock Screen?

I'm using plain black for the lock screen. Looks very minimalistic and due to OLED black levels the notch disappears.

With OLED, once you go black... ;)

Save battery. Keep it static. I did that live wallpaper nonsense year ago on my Nexus One and the novelty wears off. Just eats up battery life slowly and RAM.

I actually like the wallpapers the X had with the polka dots bubbles or whatever like the one pictured in this thread. I like red but then think about chicken pox and pimples...

If I had it, I would go multi-colored polka dot bubbles for awhile before it gets boring or plain black like the old iPhone 2G when we couldn't change our homescreen wallpaper until iOS4.

I use ZEDGE to find wallpapers. It appeared on Android first but was happy when iOS has it. I also have apps for 3D parallax wallpapers. A novelty...

Just going to use the wallpaper I have on my SE. Nearly black but with a hint of green, blue, and yellow on top and bottom. Very subtle and isn't distracting.
 
I use the all black one. Saves a tiny bit of battery life being OLED it doesn’t need to light those areas. Also makes it match the Watch Style more.
