60 Minimal Apple Desktop Wallpapers

Joshua Johnson on April 29th 2010

No wallpaper has more of a right to be on your Mac’s desktop than one that showcases your appreciation for Apple Inc.

Today we’re showcasing a massive collection of 60 desktops that are Apple-centric and completely un-cluttered. Show off your Apple pride in style, and feel free to share any others in the comments!

Show Us Yours

Now that you’ve seen our collection, use the comments below to show us your favorite Mac wallpaper, and feel free to take a look at a few of the other wallpaper roundups we’ve posted!

Great post, though I’ve seen all these before. Thanks.

Excellent !
Exactement ce dont j’avais besoin pour mettre un brin de changement dans ma journée.
Maintenant, il reste à en choisir un !

Does anyone have high res versions of these wallpapers? All of them are like 1024×768 or only the thumbnail on flickr.

  Mine was listed (thanks Appstorm!) and the sizes provided on my Flickr page are for a 30″ LCD (2560 x 1600). If the wallpaper is on Flickr, you need to click the “All Sizes” icon above the thumbnail to view the originals.

most of them aren’t very creative

tomas, that’s why they’re minimal ;) the point of these wallpapers is to have a clean-looking desktop. at least, for me.

although a lot of these i have seen before, some of these are actually new to me. thanks for posting!

Please, no more of these round-ups. You guys have great writers on staff, and these sort of blog posts just aren’t exciting. Thank you!

  Love them or hate them, roundups create a lot of traffic. And as long as they are ad driven, that is the reality. Personally, I don’t mind and they are pretty easily dismissed if you don’t want to read them…

    yeah, I had to agree with the OP; please please stop these. At *least* the software roundups give me interesting software I may have not considered.
    
    Is someone on vacation out there? :)

  I agree.
  
  The problem with these round ups is their completely average. Half of these wallpapers I saw back in 2008. First gen iPhone wallpaper? C’mon!

Great post. Thanks for the inspiration.

Alot of these are a bit substandard,, I go to MacThemes.com and Macristrocicy for my stuff.

  Oh yeah and http://www.iconpaper.com is the best one

This would be a great post if you had checked out the sources properly and ensured that all the linked images were uploaded in a a decent resolution. Who has a 1024×768 screen-size on a mac these days? Good posts stem from good research which I must say is something you are usually good at on AppStorm. Don’t be dropping the ball on us now.

Disagree? Tweet me: @Prydie

  Thanks for the feedback, Andrew. We’ll be sure to take it into account for any future posts along these lines.

    Thanks for acknowledging this. Not everyone has a small-ish MacBook where these size wallpapers look ok.

I really like the collection ! Thankx

Although I can hardly blame appstorm for this, it’s “differently” ;-)

Love the Newton wallpaper!

I believe the motherboard one came from : http://crashnow.deviantart.com/art/motherboard-107480365

The one on dA is a usable 1680×1050

Nice collection

Wow, thanks for featuring my wallaper.
I never would have thought appstorm, my favorite blog, would find my work.

I don’t know if you guys saw or not, but I also have a 3D of the logo that I’m more proud of… XD

Thanks, you guys! I now have a collection of some 500 (resolution appropriate) wallpapers for my Macs. I have a single Dropbox account for just my wallpapers, now a days! You guys have beautied up my desktop to much, keep em coming! How’s about, per se, a monthly post of just new wallpapers? And… can they be resolution-smart? I really would hate to see a great wallpaper, only to find out that its 1024×768 would look downright awful on my 30″ Apple display. Thanks again, guys!

Sure, I’ll think totally ‘diffrent’ by spelling correctly :)

I had seen these before and had downloaded one of these for my desktop. I would suggest, also carry cases which flaunts the Apple. I have this one for mine … http://www.abt.com/product/43323/MacCase-4412.html
http://edenprojects.deviantart.com/ EdenProjects

The Black tiled Apple Logo fading into lower black is originally mine, and I was not asked if it would be alright for this wallpaper to be displayed, or uploaded to Desktop Nexus at such a poor resolution.

The original, Apple Vogue Black can be found at my DA gallery http://edenprojects.deviantart.com/art/Apple-Vogue-Black-35111994.

Thats very true. A Mac should have an apple on screen at all times and not only the wallpaper, but also covers & Cases which does not cover the apple. I bought this transparent case for my Macbook pro which flaunts the apple just like I want it to – http://www.abt.com/product/41935/Speck-MB13AUSEECLR01.html
