Running GM on iPhone 6, no new dyanmic walls at all. Either they are 6S exclusive or the wording of the product page is a bit confusion and what those are supposed to show are examples of Live Photos used as wallpapers.

This is ****ing ridiculous! Let's hope there will be a jailbreak available to fix this. I'm really really digging these Wallpapers.

They are awesome! My thoughts are Apple didn't include them because it would drain battery life. I guess the A9 makes this a cakewalk for the battery.

Then again we do have those weird bubbles since iOS 7 and dynamic wallpapers on Apple Watch, but for iOS 7 those bubbles aren't that detailed and these videos look like they'd use more CPU.

I wouldn't mind if they were just wallpapers with no motion. I actually had a similar red, blue, and purple betta as my wallpaper for the longest time.

Alright, so I've found out that these new "dynamic wallpapers" DO support 3D Touch as seen in the video at 20 seconds:


In this case I can see why they're not available other devices.

Clearly moving a animated image back and forth was never possible until 3D Touch™ available exclusively on the Apple iPhone 6S™ and iPhone 6S Plus™.

I think it might have less to do with 3D Touch than it does the variable refresh rate on the new display. If you were to play it, the display would be stuck running the springboard at the same refresh rate as if it played nonstop. If so, it would zonk the battery in any screen-on scenario.

No, but it could stop you from sliding the screen over. Definitely not something you want to mess up.
