iPhone OS 4 beta 4: New wallpapers galore!

With iPhone OS 4 beta 4 Apple has brought over some of the iPad wallpapers and introduced a few new ones, all seemingly focused on livening up the home screen without being too visually distracting. Natural textures and muted patterns get an obvious focus here with stones, rocks, and textiles front and center.

And yes, you can still set backgrounds independently for the lock screen and home screen.

I decided to wait until a new version of itunes is released before upgrading again, does anyone know how long beta 3 last before you are forced to update the software?

Gareth says:

are wallpapers for homescreen coming to the iPhone3G?

Cman says:

Wow new wallpapers. How about some new text and email tones. I think that would be more appriciated considering we can get whatever wall paper we want off the Internet.

Adam says:

Yeah new email sounds. Why the hell does it cheer when it sends an email?

desjones4ever says:

I will take all updates from Apple. But this one is the most unimportant one at this time. I swear these 6 sounds for SMS is enough to drive you insane. I've switched them so many times that I hear them in my sleep with my phone off. I honestly believe not giving new ones was on purpose. Just so that people would instantly think iPhone. So iPhones are on the minds of people who don't even have one. Enough is enough already.

SoCo_Jon says:

jimmybowser says:

Lack of a true library of customizable sounds for SMS and email is what drove me to jailbreak my phone. If Apple will deliver on that, in addition to the other things they announced at the OS4 announcement, I'd be less inclined to jailbreak again.

Naveen says:

Who actually cares about wallpapers? New sound options are what people areblooking for!

websyndicate says:

I want some new SMS tones or voicemail tone too man people in the office with an iPhone also many games use the voicemail tone and it confusing dang it.

rgar3388 says:

I would rather not have those wallpapers as it takes up memory. I can get my own wallpapers.

Its Me Stupid says:

Wow wallpapers. Who would have thought? My first cell phone, which was a nextel that was the size of a brick had this capability. You fanboys eat out of the palms of their hands.

Joeie says:

You have shed a ray of sunshine into the forum. Tankhs!

Paul says:

Wallpapers? Common! Weekview for the Calendar, To do´s, SMS Quick Reply, Homescreen, Shortcuts (SBSETTINGS)...

Intoxicateme says:

Wow people r thrilled with petty crap like this ? Smfh

excaliburca says:

This is already possible with jailbreaking... are only pre-loaded wallpapers allowed or can you use a custom one? If not, then this is on the right track but still not anything special.

Macboy74 says:

I can get wallpapers anytime anywhere. I want new text sounds

Elouise says:

I bow down humbly in the presence of such greatenss.

Armand says:

People are quite patetic this days, all over the net: iphone has new wallpapers... I've wet my self.

fastlane says:

Why would I want a distracting wallpaper 80% hidden behind icons? The first thing I did when I bought my latest MacBook Pro was change the Desktop background to black. Sleek and beautiful.

LzarEus says:

I can live with the sounds but all I'd want is some nice azz themes. I mean if they sold themes for my iPhone in the app store I'd be all over it so I could make my phone look unique without having to jailbreak it. Give me some of that and I'd be ecstatic.

Where to download the preloaded wallpapers?

Cyril says:

Well, the new IOS 4 is very amazing with all its features.But there is still problem, It's not upgrading easily.I tried many times, it's not going through. Has anybody upgraded yet?. If Yes, Can you give me the Scoop Pls?

David says:

Does anyone know where you can get the previous firmware wallpapers since some of them are gone

sdfdsfds says:

Sometimes adding your own photos to make free wallpaper for your iPhone 4 sounds to be a good idea.

Lucy says:

Where are the ones w/ the pink roses? There are two of them and I am searching EVERYWHERE!!
