Apple is working on a Solar wallpaper engine for macOS 27 that groups aerial Landscape wallpapers and automatically switches variants based on the sun's position during the day.
When the hidden feature flag is enabled, the four Tahoe landscape wallpapers appear under one entry in Settings, and a new Automatic display option appears.

You can add any device-specific wallpaper from iPhone 14 onwards on any iPhone running a compatible iOS version by editing a device backup, without losing your existing wallpapers.
Previously, you could use Nugget to import a .tendies package and install additional wallpapers, including stock device-specific wallpapers. There's a Discord server with more resources. Note that Nugget currently doesn't work if you're on iOS 27, see here.
If you don't want to go down that route, you can make a local encrypted backup of your iPhone, edit the PosterBoard database and supporting files, restore the backup and have the wallpapers available in the wallpaper carousel, as if you'd set them up. More details below.

Without disabling SIP, we'll enable a debug flag and edit the Notify Me automation database to switch to 10-minute polling. Read below for the steps you need to follow.
