Nearly two months in the making, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max Internals Wallpapers are finally here!

I’m proud to release the internals wallpapers for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. These wallpapers are an annual labour of love for the Apple community, and I couldn’t be happier with how this year’s collection turned out. It’s the result of months of work, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you all.

Process

Months in the making, I hope I’ve made something special for the iPhone community.

For the past half decade I have been making annual internals wallpapers for the new iPhone. Starting in 2021 with the iPhone 12 & 13 Pro, I have now released internals for every new Pro iPhone and created internals for the the 13-inch MacBook Air, MacBook Pros, and Apple Studio Display.

In the past, I’ve relied on teardowns from iFixit, MaxTech, and other sources to piece together exactly what the internals of each iPhone looked like. Fortunately, Apple’s Self-Repair program has changed that. From day one, Apple now releases detailed repair manuals showcasing the inner workings of their latest iPhones, nearly eliminating the need to wait for others to crack them open and photograph them. But I still rely on braver folks to take apart the logic boards as these multi-layered components are sealed by Apple and contain the entire brains of these devices. Since 2022, I’ve focused on taking one of these peeled back layers and spotlighting the A-series processor surrounded by all the chips, circuitry, and all the little bits that make these devices tick.

The process takes a considerable amount of time; as each wallpaper requires dozens of hours to complete. I start with an 800×1500 image from Apple’s repair manual and study each detail to understand how the components are arranged, stacked, and connected before recreating them in Sketch to the best of my ability. Every piece is laid out, drawn, curved, layered, and textured by hand. Some elements take only seconds; others, like the perimeter railing, can take close to an hour. It is a constant cycle of adjusting, layering, and tweaking nearly 3,000 layers to ensure they are accurate and that they fit cohesively into the larger design. And once I finish those 3,000 layers for one phone, I open up a new document and start all over again on the second Pro device.

In the past, I’ve tended to make the internals darker and more uniform, but for this iteration, I wanted to do something different. I intentionally brightened certain components to create more contrast throughout the design. As a result, pieces like the screws, railings, and smaller details really pop against the rest of the hardware, giving the final wallpaper a look that’s more dynamic, layered, and visually engaging. At the same time, as intricate as these wallpaper are, the wallpaper still feels clean and balanced rather than unnecessarily distracting or overwhelming.

Also this year, I’m lucky to have Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language in iOS 26 on my side. The glossy, refractive UI elements really complement these wallpapers, adding a new sense of depth and realism to the design. You can actually see the internals refracted through the clear icons, and when you unlock your phone, the lock screen subtly refracts and warps the components beneath your finger - it’s super cool!

Liquid Glass & iOS 26 really elevates this year’s iPhone 17 Internals wallpapers.

Finally, once all 2,703 layers for the iPhone 17 Pro and 2,843 for the iPhone 17 Pro Max were complete, I moved the projects into Pixelmator Pro to begin the colouring process. Each layer group receives its own colour treatment, and I break the design into several sections and colour grade them individually to create the finished project.

After all that, here are the finished iPhone 17 Pro & 17 Pro Max Internals wallpapers. If you can, please consider supporting the site with a tip or by purchasing the collection. As a solo creator, this support helps me immensely and contributes to me keeping the site ad-free and the work accessible without any barriers and paywalls. Enjoy!

What Comes Next?

Right now, the plan is to start work on the iPhone Air internals wallpaper, aiming for an early December 2025 release. I’m still on the fence about doing one for the iPhone 17—it’s tough to know if the time and effort will really pay off. Still weighing my options…
