Continuing Apple’s celebration of black culture, the company introduced new (and beautiful) ‘Unity’ wallpapers. This addition to Apple’s Black Unity Collection comes on the heels of Apple’s launch of Waiting faces with unity theme, Apple Watches and Apple Watch straps, now on sale at any Apple Store.
In remembrance, the Black Unity Collection lends its colors to the Pan-African flag, emphasizing “a symbol that unites people across the African diaspora.” As Apple wrote earlier when its new watch faces were introduced:
‘Red represents the blood that united the people of the African diaspora and was shed for their liberation. Black is for the people whose lives are confirmed by the flag. And green is a symbol of the living, natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland. ‘
The new Unity wallpapers are buried on Apple’s website. To find it, drag the Apple Watch page, and then click on the link “More information”, shown here:

The following screen appears:
Scroll down and you will find the links to the Mac, iPad and iPhone wallpapers. Click “Get Wallpaper” to download each one and then transfer it to your device as you like. (As a Windows user, I find it easiest to just upload the wallpaper to the Photos app on icloud.com, but you can use a number of other techniques.)
As a reminder, you can change your MacOS background by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner and after System Preferences> Desktop & Screen Saver.
On iOS / iPadOS you need to Institutions app and navigate to the appropriate name Wallpaper section. And yes, Apple’s offering is just a single Unity wallpaper for each device. Those among you who are looking for a more popular option, such as a dynamic wallpaper that changes color depending on the time of day to look elsewhere for a similar theme background. Or you can also use an online tool to create different, color-shifting versions of the Unity background, and then use an app to merge it into a single dynamic background. It’s a bit of work, but it’s going to look fantastic.
