Geek Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/xray-imac-wallpaper.jpg" alt="X-Ray iMac wallpaper" title="xray-imac-wallpaper" width="620" height="429" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25738" /></p> <p>Recently we posted <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/31/mac-setups-huge-mac-collection/">a Mac museum collection</a> that featured an iMac using wallpaper that made it appear like you could see right through to the logic board. It turns out these images are from iFixIt, the company that likes to tear down Apple hardware. </p> <p>In the process of documenting their teardowns, iFixIt also has taken high resolution images that work great for <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/wallpapers/">wallpapers</a>, giving the illusion that there is no screen on the device, and instead making it look as if icons and windows are floating directly atop circuitry. It’s a cool effect, and they have a variety of freely available native resolution wallpapers in this style for the iMac, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and even the Apple external Thunderbolt display. </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/?s=wallpaper">Find them all on iFixit.com’s blog</a> or check out some more images below</li> </ul> <p>If you don’t care about showing the exact hardware for your device, they all make great wallpapers in general. My favorites have to be the iPad and iMac, although the Thunderbolt chip is nice too:</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/see-through-ipad-wallpaper.jpg" alt="See through iPad wallpaper" title="see-through-ipad-wallpaper" width="617" height="424" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25739" /> <span id="more-25737"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/see-through-iphone.jpg" alt="Transparent iPhone wallpaper" title="see-through-iphone" width="350" height="526" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25740" /> The iPhone is a little crowded with icons on top but still looks good.</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/thunderbolt-chip.jpg" alt="Thunderbolt display chip" title="thunderbolt-chip" width="620" height="349" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25744" /> The external Apple Thunderbolt Display’s internal wallpaper focuses on the chips instead.</p> <p>Direct links to iFixIt’s wallpaper: <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2011/09/28/apple-thunderbolt-display-teardown/">Thunderbolt</a>, <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2010/06/30/iphone-4-wallpapers-gyro-and-internals/">iPhone 4</a>, <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2010/02/23/iphone-3gs-wallpaper/">iPhone 3GS</a>, <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2010/05/10/ipad-wi-fi-wallpaper/">iPad</a>, <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2010/02/16/21-5-imac-wallpaper/">iMac 21″</a>, <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/blog/2009/10/23/27-imac-wallpaper/">iMac 27″</a>.</p> <p><em>Thanks to Rejean for pointing these out <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/31/mac-setups-huge-mac-collection/#comment-311891">in the comments</a>!</em></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QP8KPzzv0QjaJfh9GMSHeMRrKDk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QP8KPzzv0QjaJfh9GMSHeMRrKDk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QP8KPzzv0QjaJfh9GMSHeMRrKDk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QP8KPzzv0QjaJfh9GMSHeMRrKDk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=dReJ5A90NFY:_m-74bRn54c:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/dReJ5A90NFY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
