iPhone Black Boy Wallpaper
Male figures in the dark, cut for iPhone — silhouettes, shadowed portraits, low-light street shots. Community-shared; register to upload yours.
Portrait crops for a phone have a specific problem: a face placed centrally ends up half-covered by the lock-screen clock. The pieces here that work best put the subject lower in the frame or off to one side. Files are 1170x2532 and above so they cover recent iPhones without upscaling on a screen that packs roughly 460 pixels per inch. Long-press to save, then set from Photos; free for personal use.
Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
How do I set one as my wallpaper?
Long-press the image and choose Save to Photos, then open Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper and pick it from your library.
