More than two years ago, an Apple enthusiast who goes by @heyeased on Twitter made an iPhone wallpaper that would end up becoming one of the biggest crazes of the year. The wallpaper in question was called “magic black,” and it took advantage of a glitch in iOS to make the backgrounds of folders and the dock completely disappear. The result was the most stealth home screen look anyone had ever seen on an iPhone, and you can see how awesome it looked right here. It just so happened to be the year that Apple introduced its new Jet Black finish on the iPhone 7, in part to help bolster sales since it was reusing a nearly identical iPhone design for the third consecutive year. The combination of the Jet Black finish and this magic black wallpaper resulted in a sleek look that people absolutely adored.
Then after a while, Apple fixed the glitch that enabled the magic black wallpaper. People were upset for a while, but it’s obviously not a terribly big deal in the grand scheme of things. The nifty wallpaper faded from memory and @heyeased continued making other kinds of wallpapers for iPhone users to enjoy. So why are we bringing this up now? Well, we have good news and bad news…
