Apple has not bundled the iPhone Duo’s wallpapers with iOS 27, but they are now accessible via the iPhone Simulator in Xcode 27.1 beta, released earlier today. The beta version includes four wallpapers — two light‑mode and two dark‑mode designs — that were created for the company’s first foldable device, announced earlier this month and referred to as the iPhone Duo.

The wallpapers depict dunes set against a mountain range and were originally intended for the iPhone Duo’s light and dark mode interfaces. They were not part of the iOS 27.0 release candidate, which Apple rolled out alongside the announcement but left the Duo’s artwork out. Instead, the images were embedded in the Xcode 27.1 beta simulator, allowing developers and interested users to download the high‑resolution files directly.

To obtain the images, users can open the simulator within Xcode 27.1, locate the wallpaper assets, and save them at full resolution before applying them as system backgrounds. Apple’s official documentation on setting wallpapers for iPhone, iPad and Mac provides guidance on the process.

The move comes as Apple continues to expand its ecosystem around the upcoming foldable phone, which is expected to enter production later this year. While the company has not yet confirmed a release date, the availability of the wallpapers signals that software support is advancing.
