The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max come with a slightly changed resolution, meaning all your old wallpapers will be slightly off. Fortunately, the difference isn’t huge this time, so you can fudge the few pixels needed to make iPhone 13 Pro wallpapers fit on the new models.
What resolution does an iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max wallpaper need to be?
The wallpaper resolutions for Apple’s latest phones are:
- iPhone 14 Pro: 1179x2556px (19.5:9 ratio)
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 1290x2796px (19.5:9 ratio)
You should strive for images to be as close to 460 PPI as possible, as that’s the density for the displays on both models.
By comparison, last year’s models are only a pinch smaller:
- iPhone 13 Pro: 2532x1170px (19.5:9 ratio)
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: 2778x1284px (19.5:9 ratio)
The biggest thing to watch out for is the change from the notch to the dynamic island. The slightly different placement might affect some pictures. However, it’s too small to be noticed with most.
Of course, Apple also releases exclusive wallpapers for each phone, and this year is no different. These can be downloaded on any iPhone and can be found through this helpful article from 9to5 Mac. This batch also includes the Pro-exclusive wallpapers that are tuned for the phone’s new always-on display.
