The image is at 2048×2048 resolution, so it will fit on a new iPad and scale nicely to most other devices. Don’t miss the new OS X Mountain Lion wallpapers too, they’re also all high-res and quite attractive.

Apple knows how to pick great background pictures, and the new default wallpaper from iOS 6 beta is no exception. You’ve probably seen the rippled water already in screenshots of iOS 6 from Apple.

iOS 6 Compatibility & Supported Devices

OS 6comes with over 200 new features that will make the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch even better, but there’s a few caveats: first, it doesn’t run on all hardware, and second, on some of the supported devices the feature set will be limited. We’ll sort all of that out.

iOS 6 Compatibility & Supported Devices

Devices Supported by iOS 6
According to Apple, the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPod touch 4th gen will all run iOS 6.

Noticeably absent from the supported device lineup are the iPad 1 and iPod touch 3rd gen, despite those devices having similar hardware to some of the other supported hardware. If you have one of these older devices, consider an upgrade if you want the latest and greatest features.

iOS 6 Feature Compatibility
Here is where things get slightly more complicated: Even if your iPhone or iPad can run iOS 6 that doesn’t mean it will support all of the features.
