Fix issues with wallpapers in iOS 7

Wallpapers

One of the biggest annoyances of iOS 7 is the way it handles the placement of wallpapers on the iPhone and iPad.

It seems to be prepared to position the image in a certain way and no matter how hard we try to stretch it or zoom out, it will do so in its own way. Let's see how improve results using techniques that we have explained previously.

The stretching technique he uses is more obvious and prevalent on the iPad than the iPhone, but it appears on both. iOS 7 Finds in the image a middle ground between portrait and landscape mode, or what is the same, look for the best resolution between portrait and landscape. The iPad lock screen and the home screen use both orientations, while the iPhone home screen only uses portrait, which is why the problem is much more noticeable on the iPad. This problem occurs when the image we intend to use does not exactly match the native resolution of the iPad or iPhone.

Another issue is related to Blur and the Parallax effect, which readjust the background and create effects on the image. Let's see how to solve these problems little by little:

  • Use the motion reduction in iOS 7
  • Make sure the images are from correct size
    • iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPod touch 5th generation - 1136 x 640
    • iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad mini Retina - 2048 x 1536
    • iPad 2, iPad mini - 1028 x 768
    • iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 - 960 x 640
  • Crea your own image background with Blur

    What was missing is that we have to use photos of a certain resolution so that they look good as a background… .why idiocy. One step back for Apple.

      It is not a new thing nor is it a step back, what is sought is to achieve a middle point so that the 2 orientations work correctly, ignorant people go.
