The visual backdrop displayed on Apple’s iOS 10 operating system for iPhones and iPads is a key element of the user interface. It is a customizable image or design that personalizes the home and lock screens, influencing the overall aesthetic experience. For example, users could select a default image provided by Apple or upload a personal photograph to serve as the display’s background.
The choice of background significantly impacts the device’s appearance and user satisfaction. Historically, operating systems have allowed for customization, but the ease and range of options in iOS 10 made personalization readily accessible. This element of personalization is important as it allows device owners to connect with their technology on a more personal level, enhancing daily interaction.
