Why the exact 1290 × 2796 size matters
The iPhone 16 Plus screen is 1290 × 2796 pixels, an aspect ratio of about 19.5:9. A generic wallpaper at a different shape gets zoomed by iOS to fill the screen, which softens detail and can push the subject under the clock. Every wallpaper on this page has been cropped from its full-resolution original to exactly 1290 × 2796, so what you see in the preview is what lands on your lock screen.

- Open a wallpaper above and tap Download wallpaper. Your model is selected for you.
