The term describes the background images designed for and compatible with Apple’s iOS 9 operating system. These images serve as the visual backdrop for the user interface on devices such as iPhones and iPads running that specific operating system version. Users could select from default options provided by Apple or customize their devices with personal photos.
The significance of these visual elements lies in their contribution to the user experience. They allow for personalization and can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the device. The availability and selection of these images were a notable feature of the operating system at the time of its release, reflecting the broader trend of user customization in mobile technology. Historically, the choices represented a stylistic shift compared to earlier iOS versions.
