iPhone 16 wallpaper FAQ
What wallpaper size does the iPhone 16 use?
1179 × 2556 pixels on a 6.1" display — an aspect ratio of about ≈19.5:9. Anything smaller is upscaled by the OS and looks soft; anything a different shape gets cropped.
Can the iPhone 16 use live wallpapers?
Yes. iOS 18 sets a Live Photo as the lock screen, and it plays whenever the screen wakes. That is what 2Live makes — the wallpaper actually moves, which is the one thing saving a picture from a web page cannot give you.
