Apple Shares Stylish Wallpaper to Celebrate New Gangnam Store in South Korea

[MacRumors]

Apple this week announced that it will be opening its fifth retail store in South Korea on Friday, March 31 at 5 p.m. local time. The new store will be located in the central Gangnam district of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea.

To celebrate the occasion, Apple has made a special wallpaper for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac available to download on the store's page. The Apple Gangnam wallpaper has a black background with an Apple logo in a unique style.

The new store will offer typical Apple Store services, ranging from Genius Bar appointments for product repairs to Today at Apple creative sessions.

Apple Gangnam is Apple's first new retail store to open since Apple American Dream opened in New Jersey in December. Apple operates over 520 retail stores around the world, including four other locations in Seoul.

Apple's retail chief Deirdre O'Brien shared an animated version of the Apple logo on Instagram.

It’s really cute actually, especially since I already use a plain black wallpaper anyway 🥰 Thanks, Apple

It's not rubber bands, it's a lasso:

Just so you know iOS 15.4 final was released on March 14, 2022 after 5 betas, while we still wait for beta 4 today.

Use Safari's translation feature... (Or just click on the text next to the image showing the wallpaper on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.)

Looks like you need to do it on whatever device you want the wallpaper for. (i.e. If you want the version for your iPhone...access and download it using your iPhone. If you do it on the Mac, it'll give you the Mac/desktop version.)

I don't think so, I downloaded it to Photos on my 12.9 iPad and it looks fine on my iPhone. I even tried downloading on each device and it looks no different.
Update: @Weaselboy and @iStorm are correct on different downloads for different devices..

I downloaded it from my Mac and I got a desktop rectangle sized wallpaper, and using the same link on my iPhone I got a portrait shaped iPhone wallpaper version (attached), so it does seem to give you the image for whatever device you are on. At least it did for me.

Interesting. I saved the pic you provided and it doesn't work well on my iPad but works fine on my iPhone so your correct. When I use the one I saved on my iPad it works fine on either device. Of course I'm pinching, cropping and moving the both images on the iPhone so maybe that's why I'm confusing the issue

If I still put posters on my walls, I would want that as a fuzzy black light poster.

Yep, if you look at the link you provided, it has "iPad_Wallpaper" in it.

This is the link I get when doing it from my iPhone:

[BeerDrinkerDan]
