Apple recently showed off the latest version of iOS at WWDC 2014. Included in the demos was a new home screen wallpaper, which will launch when iOS 8 goes public this fall.
Here you can find the iOS 8 home screen wallpaper. To install this background, save the image to the Camera Roll. Choose the iOS 8 wallpaper from Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness -> CHOOSE WALLPAPER -> Camera Roll.
With the launch of the iPad Air, Apple revealed a brand new home / lock screen wallpaper never before seen on iOS 7. Now thanks to Adriano Mendes you can download the iPad Air wallpaper to an iPhone or iPad.

It's no secret that Apple heavily borrowed a few ideas from the jailbreaking community for iOS 7, and it looks like they also took a few notes from Google's playbook. iOS 7 will allow users to choose between motion or still wallpaper for their device's background image. iDownloadblog discovered several basic wallpapers, and two Apple created animated wallpapers in the iOS 7 beta. You can see from the video posted below, that the two bubble wallpapers gives your iPhone a lava lamp kind of look.
iPhone 5 users will also be able to use their favorite panoramic images from their Photo app as their Lock or Home screen wallpapers. The panoramic wallpaper effect is a lot like the Android option that allows you to pan your phone's background image left and right. It is unknown if Apple will allow third party animated backgrounds to be used, or if they will somehow make more of their self-created wallpapers available in the future.
If you remember the original iPhone in 2007, then you picture Apple's promotional materials with an attractive clownfish aquatic background wallpaper on the lock screen. Somehow, the image never made it into the official Settings -> Wallpaper options.

One surprise in the iPhone 4 keynote speech was a move away from the typical black home screen wallpaper background. Unless they've jailbroken their iPhone, users are painfully aware that only the lock screen can be customized. The custom home screen background featured in the iPhone 4 keynote speech is featured below.
With the release of iPhone 4.0 firmware this summer, Apple has finally added support for custom home screen wallpaper, along with a new look for the dock.
