Do you want a blast of Apple nostalgia which takes you back to an earlier time in macOS or iOS history, but don’t want to go as far as actually using older hardware? If so, then you’re in for a treat, thanks to a new archive of classic Apple wallpapers which just popped up online.
Dating back to the classic Mac days of System 7 and the original iPhone OS (remember when it wasn’t yet called iOS?), the archive boasts full resolution copies of most of the vintage Apple background images.
A look back at Apple’s greatest wallpapers
Although the oldest images date back around 30 years, the archive was assembled by 18-year-old Evgenii Bogun, an art and design student in Moscow.
Bogun told Cult of Mac that he only got his first Apple products in 2013, but said that he wanted to produce a comprehensive archive of older wallpapers due to the fact that, “Apple has [the] best wallpapers among other companies, and people generally have some memories associated with wallpapers they had at a time.”
The images have been compiled from a variety of sources, including wallpaper packs already online to ones downloaded from older systems directly.
The collection isn’t quite complete. “There are some wallpapers I’d like to have,” Bogun said. He’s missing a few from iOS 6, and some of the classic versions of Mac OS (as it was styled before the current macOS) wallpapers are also absent. “Readers can support albums by sending wallpapers that are not in the album or in better quality,” he said.
The link to the macOS archive can be found here, while the iOS version are here.

One of the first things Mac OS X users do when they’re setting preferences and personalizing their computers is setting a favorite photo as the desktop wallpaper. This action starts with the Apple menu on the desktop menu bar.
Here’s how you can change your Desktop picture:
- From the Desktop, choose Apple→System Preferences.The System Preferences window appears.Or Control+click the Desktop itself and choose Change Desktop Background from the contextual menu. Then you can skip to Step 3.
- Click the Desktop & Screen Saver icon.The Desktop & Screen Saver Preferences pane appears.
- Click a folder in the column on the left and then click a picture in the area on the right.
You have at least three other ways to change your Desktop picture:
- Drag a picture file from the Finder onto the image well (the little rectangular picture to the left of the picture’s name).
- Choose the Pictures Folder in the list of folders on the left side of the Desktop & Screen Saver System Preference pane and then choose a folder by using the standard Open File dialog. That folder then appears in the list; you can use any picture files it contains for your Desktop picture.
- Click one of the iPhoto Albums items in the column on the left side of the Desktop & Screen Saver System Preferences pane.
