Continuing the celebration of Apple’s black culture, the company launched new (and beautiful) “Unity” wallpapers. These additions to Apple’s Black Unity collection follow the launch of Unity themed watch faces, Apple Watches and Apple Watch bands, which are now available for purchase at any Apple Store.
As a reminder, the Black Unity Collection borrows its colors from the Pan-African flag, highlighting, “a symbol that unites people across the African Diaspora”. As Apple wrote earlier when launching its new watch faces:
“Red represents the blood that unites the people of the African diaspora and was shed for their liberation. Black is for people whose lives are confirmed by the flag. And green is a symbol of Africa’s vibrant natural wealth, the motherland. “
The new Unity wallpapers are a little buried on the Apple website. To find them, pull the Apple Watch page and then click on the “Learn more” link shown here:

This will open the following screen:
Scroll down and you will find the links to the Mac, iPad and iPhone wallpapers. Click on “Get wallpaper” to download each one and then transfer them to your device as you wish. (As a Windows user, I find it easier to just upload the wallpaper to the Photos app on icloud.com, but you can use several other techniques.)
As a reminder, you can change your macOS wallpaper by clicking on the Apple logo in the upper left corner and going to System Preferences> Desktop and Screen Saver.
On iOS / iPadOS, you will need to pull the Definitions application and navigate to the appropriate name Wallpaper section. And yes, Apple’s offering is just a single Unity wallpaper for each device. Those looking for a more sophisticated option, such as dynamic wallpaper that changes color depending on the time of day, will have look elsewhere for a similarly themed background. Or you can also use an online tool to create different, color-changing versions of the Unity wallpaper, and then use an application to combine them into a single dynamic wallpaper. This is a little bit of work, but it will be amazing.
