Apple reveals iPhone Easter egg: An old
Some iPhone users have reported that their updated operating system — iOS 16 beta 3 — has given them the option of using an old-school wallpaper that's an Easter egg and homage to Steve Jobs. The wallpaper in question features clownfish and was used when Jobs debuted the iPhone back in 2007.
On Twitter, Mark Gurman, a reporter who covers Apple for Bloomberg, quote-tweeted a user named @JackLRoberts, who appeared to have the clownfish background as an option on their iPhone.
"This is the wallpaper Steve Jobs used when the original iPhone was announced in 2007 — but it never actually ever shipped with any iPhone. Here we are 15 years later," Gurman wrote on Twitter.
