I'm going to restore from a backup of my iPhone X today (so I can keep my health/watch data).

What's the best way to go about keeping the original iPhone Xs wallpapers though -- are they special "live" ones? Was wondering if I need to first set up the Xs Max as "new", then Airdrop the wallpapers over to my old iPhone X, backup one last time, THEN restore it to the Xs Max.

Or are these just simple downloadable wallpapers (which I think I already downloaded the other day)?

Didn't want to miss out on some neat live wallpaper goodness that only comes *on* the new phone or something.
 
In case anyone checks this thread -- I figured it out on my own. I restored from a backup of iPhone X, but the new phone still kept the neat new live wallpapers of the iPhone Xs, so I didn't lose anything. :)
