Is your desktop background getting boring? Perhaps something new is just what the doctor ordered. And what better way to show your love for Apple that an Apple-themed (Hey, this is TheAppleBlog remember. If you don’t love Apple, why are you here?) wallpaper! I scoured the Internet and found a whole heap of nice shiny wallpapers. Here’s a collection of my favorites.

Celebrate the Apple Logo

The Apple logo is an icon that’s instantly recognized around the world, and will no doubt long be writ down in the annals of history.

Celebrate Apple Devices

Of course sometimes you can sick and tired of staring a piece of fruit with a bite taken out of it. Apple’s hardware designs have always been sleek and smooth and provide a nice alternative to the iconic fruit.

Can’t Decide?

Don’t forget, you don’t need to be stuck with one wallpaper. In the Desktop & Screen Saver System Preference pane you can tick “Change Picture” and select options such as “Every Hour” or “When waking from sleep.” Select a specific directory where you keep desktop folders as the source and keep adding pics to it for a look that never gets old.
