iPhone 15 pro default wallpaper

Recently, I wanted to add the "default wallpaper" to my iPhone 15 Pro which appears on the box. However, when I tried to add it, the wallpaper didn’t appear in the "Collections" section. If it was removed in the latest software update, I find it odd that Apple would remove a wallpaper they had previously advertised. I understand the iPhone 16 is out, but I still believe I should be able to set the default wallpaper on my iPhone 15 Pro at any time, without worrying that it might be removed.



iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Wallpaper options on an iPhone often evolve with major iOS updates as Apple introduces new designs to reflect the aesthetic and features of the latest software. These wallpapers can include dynamic, still, or live options that highlight new themes, color schemes, or technologies (like OLED displays).


Apple may choose to discontinue old wallpapers for various reasons, such as maintaining a modern look, aligning with updated branding, or encouraging users to adopt newer designs. Conversely, they may occasionally retain or reintroduce classic wallpapers for nostalgic value or by popular demand.


Users who prefer older wallpapers can sometimes find them through third-party apps or websites, although these may not offer the same quality or resolution as native options. For many, wallpapers are a personal expression, and their availability significantly enhances the customization experience.
