Here’s a short video of my live wallpaper on the iPhone SE.IPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus come with a number of new features that are not available on older iOS devices.

#LIVE WALLPAPER IPHONE SE PRO#

I was planning to buy a new MacBook Pro this summer but I’ll be putting that on hold whilst I let this sink in and consider alternatives.Īny argument out there on the basis of iPhone SE not supporting live wallpapers due to a hardware limitation is entirely false. That is an action that smacks of petty spite and does not fill me with confidence in a company with those kind of values. Apple chose to prevent SE users from having live wallpapers presumably because they paid a little less for an iPhone and are not deemed worthy of a fuller experience.

#LIVE WALLPAPER IPHONE SE SOFTWARE#

They have chosen to disable live wallpapers on iPhone SE not because of software or hardware limitations but purely arbitrarily. I’ve made sure automatic iOS updates are turned off in case Apple add a “fix” for this feature in a later update.īut the fact that live wallpapers can be set in iPhone SE confirms a very unsavoury fact about Apple. If you have a spare supported iPhone and want to put the time in then it can work for you too. It is laborious restoring from a backup – this took me a couple of hours. Not that I’d recommend using this as a workaround for getting live wallpapers on an SE. Thankfully Apple have overlooked this “workaround” of sorts. This is incredible I love beating the system. It worked! I now have my new live wallpaper. Having found myself in this predicament I wondered why my live wallpaper had been carried over from my iPhone 8 (now being used by my wife)? I decided to investigate erasing my iPhone SE and restoring it with a fresh backup which I created on my old iPhone 6S with a new live wallpaper set up on it. It is therefore misleading for Apple to not be upfront about the absence of live wallpapers. But actually it should be there because the central feature that enables live wallpapers (Haptic Touch) is included in the phone. is explained by it not being a central feature. It may be argued that it’s absence from the spec. Also the lack of live wallpaper support is not specified on the technical specifications of the iPhone SE. The iPhone SE 2ᴺᴰ gen (unlike the 1ˢᵀ gen SE) has the necessary hardware to support live wallpapers. Sure enough an Apple support article for wallpapers also had a caption making that claim. This in spite of it supporting Haptic Touch (the successor to 3D Touch) and my Santa Fly By wallpaper had been a live wallpaper. Now I was getting agitated – had Apple removed the functionality?Ī web search yielded a couple Apple fan articles that claimed iPhone SE 2ᴺᴰ generation does not support live wallpapers. I tried a few more wallpapers and still no joy. I was perplexed to find that the Live wallpaper setting was not showing up for the new wallpaper. A couple weeks into my iPhone SE (2ᴺᴰ Gen) purchase I attempted to change my live wallpaper (the “Santa fly by” wallpaper no longer matching the season).
