Original story (published on November 1, 2022) follows:

iOS 16 brought some really cool and unique features to the otherwise mature and stable operating system. The ability to have the ‘Depth Effect’ in lock screen wallpapers was especially appreciated by Apple users.

As soon as the beta version was released, many started experimenting with the new feature, trying to create beautiful lock screens and sharing them with others.

While the feature in itself is great, finding wallpapers that allow and take advantage of the ‘Depth Effect’ could be a painstaking task. It isn’t perfect either.

To help you out, we’ve created this list that features some of our favorite iOS 16 ‘Depth Effect’ wallpapers that you can use on your lock screen. Click or tap on the image to enlarge.
