If you’re one of the lucky few who have managed to pick up one of Apple’s latest iPhones, you’ll be in need of a few wallpapers to adorn that gorgeous Retina Display. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before on a mobile device, and shows graphics with incredible clarity and detail.
Today we’ll be offering you a pack of OS X wallpapers, resized to the perfect resolution for iPhone 4′s display. We’re also rounding up a selection of other gorgeous wallpapers – some are for your “Lock Screen”, others are more minimal and work well behind your Home Screen.
Interested in finding even more gorgeous iPhone wallpapers? Be sure to read our roundups of 40 New iPhone Wallpapers, 50 iPhone Wallpapers for Design Lovers, and 50 Really Beautiful iPad Wallpapers.
Resized Versions of OS X Wallpapers

Just click the image above to download them, or grab them here.
Simple Wallpapers for the Home Screen
Now we’re moving on to a range of elegant, plain wallpapers that are perfect for your iPhone’s Home Screen. These are displayed behind your icons, so the simpler the better!
A couple of these wallpapers are in the older iPhone resolution, but we’ve included them because they still look great when scaled up.

Wow, nice wallpapers! Thanks for sharing them.
Stripes for lock screen, and Abstract Paper for home screen, perfect combination!
Hey there. Nice roundup!
But you definitely put the wrong ‘wooden shelf’ wallpaper in the list!
Make sure to check out this fantastic ‘wodden shelf’ wallpaper: http://fav.me/d2p28lx
In my opinion it’s way better than the one you are listing right now. And check the subtle shadows. Wonderful
Best regards, Tom
These are awesome. Also, check out the iPhone 4/iPad/desktop wallpapers by Mantia.

Sorry, I should have shared these when you tweeted for iPhone 4 wallpapers prior to the post.
Hi, I’ve just updated my wallpapers for the IPhone 4 today.

The Shelves look awesome!!
Amazing wallpapers, I love the wooden shelf one is my favorite and the Night Launch wallpaper looks amazing. Great resources and post!
Wow, thanks for sharing. I was looking for some nice walls.
Sometimes adding your own photos to the wallpaper sounds to be a good idea. iCamera 2010 can help you to make wallpaper on iPhone 4 for free. It is very easy and will bring you splendid idea to reality and show your photos!
I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the leather one on my iPhone 4. I thought it looked a bit blurry when upscaled.

I then used this texture and edited it a bit and came up with this wallpaper:

It looks gorgeous and really classy on the iPhone 4 screen.
Feel free to use and share the wallpaper.
All of these are awesome, check out the Free iPhone 4 wallpapers site.
