new every time iPhone During the release season, in addition to specifications and appearance, another thing that Apple fans are looking forward to is the extremely detailed “iPhone internal structure” by designer Basic Apple Guy.tablecloth”. This year, he once again spent nearly two months on iPhone 17 Pro The internal structure of the 17 Pro Max is reproduced in a way that is almost a work of art. From thousands of components, thousands of layers of drawing, to new color styles and Liquid Glass visual effects with iOS 26, the iPhone seems to really see through the inside the moment it is unlocked. This time the wallpapers are not only free to download, but also a donation version set is launched simultaneously, with multiple colors to choose from and collected at once.

If you like to appreciate the “inner beauty” of iPhone, you will be familiar with the work of Basic Apple Guy. The designer who has long created “iPhone internal structure see-through wallpaper” for the Apple community returns again this year with the new iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max internal see-through wallpaper. It took him nearly two months to reproduce the internal structures of the two models with ultra-high precision. He not only put filters on the disassembly photos, but started from scratch and painted them layer by layer to create tablecloths that were so beautiful that they looked like official products.
Basic Apple Guy started making iPhone internal wallpapers in 2021. He first referred to disassembly videos such as iFixit and MaxTech, comparing components piece by piece to reproduce the internal arrangement of each generation of iPhone. After Apple launched the Self-Repair (self-service repair) program in the past few years, the official directly released a repair manual, which contains clear internal structure diagrams, allowing him to more accurately describe the structure of various components during production.
But even with reference materials, the real difficulty is those A-series chips that Apple has packed tightly, the inner layers of the logic board. He still had to rely on actual photos of multi-layer motherboards taken by disassembly experts to reconstruct every chip, wiring and circuit detail. These “ultra-close perspectives” are the key to making the tablecloth a work of art.
Basically, every Basic Apple Guy piece starts with an 800×1500 schematic of an official Apple restoration. He will first repeatedly study the position, routing, and stacking, then open a new canvas in Sketch and draw it piece by piece by hand. Screws, cables, sensors, frames, metal brackets, and RF modules are all manually drawn and then added with gloss, texture, and shadow.
Some components can be drawn in a few seconds, but for parts with complex curves like the “outer frame metal guardrail”, just adjusting the arc can take more than an hour. The entire tablecloth will use a total of nearly three thousand layers. Each layer is an independent detailed element. Just typesetting, adjusting transparency, and overlapping order in Sketch is an extremely time-consuming method.
The most shocking part is: after finishing three thousand layers for iPhone 17 Pro, he had to reopen a new file and draw another 2,843 layers for iPhone 17 Pro Max. There was no team of engineers or studio collaboration, it was all done by himself.
In previous years, he often made the interior tablecloths darker and more industrial-style, but this year he wanted to try a “brighter” style. He deliberately brightened the screws, metal frame, and chip edges to enhance the contrast with the main body and make the details more three-dimensional and layered. You can clearly see the chamfered luster of the metal, the difference in material thickness of the cables on the screen, and you can even tell which chip is coated and which is an exposed structure.
The visual presentation is complicated, but the overall style is not cluttered, and it still maintains a clean, balanced, and comfortable style.
Another big highlight this year is that the tablecloth is especially suitable for iOS 26’s new Liquid Glass style. This new design emphasizes the texture of glass, refraction, and light transmission, and the tablecloth itself is a “see-through body structure”. When the two meet, the effect is super matching.
- The transparency of the app icon reflects the chips and traces of the tablecloth
- When unlocked, the locked screen will undergo subtle deformation of the internal structure due to the refraction of Liquid Glass.
- There will also be subtle light refraction effects when opening and closing notifications or pulling down operations.
The overall visual effect is more “real see-through iPhone” than ever before.

Next up: iPhone Air interior see-through tablecloth expected to launch
After launching the 17 Pro series this time, he also revealed that his next step is to challenge the iPhone Air’s internal wallpaper, which is expected to be launched around December 2025. As for the regular version of iPhone 17, he is still evaluating whether to invest time, because the production cost is too high and the time investment is amazing, and whether it is worth more consideration. However, judging from this year’s results, we can feel that his enthusiasm for this creation has only increased, and most Apple fans are looking forward to the continuation of the internal series.
Conclusion
