YOUR iPhone has two clever Steve Jobs tributes you may never have noticed.
The late Apple founder changed the world with his gadgets – so it’s fitting that he’s remembered with at least a few fun iPhone Easter eggs.

First up is a clever tribute built into Safari.
You’ll notice an icon that looks like a pair of glasses.
It’s used to add pages to your reading list, but the specs may seem familiar.
That’s because they’re modelled exactly on the pair of circular frames famously worn by Steve Jobs.
The second Easter egg is harder to find, simply because you need the new iOS 16 software update to see it.
Sadly it’s only available in iOS beta right now, but you can sign up here.
And you’ll be able to access the update generally outside of the beta in September, most likely.
This is to coincide with the expected launch of the iPhone 14.
If you go into Settings > Wallpaper on iOS 16, you’ll find a surprising new wallpaper.

To Apple fans, it will look very familiar: two clownfish swimming.
In fact it’s the wallpaper first shown by Steve Jobs during the launch of the original iPhone.
It’s an iconic moment in gadget history, but made stranger by the fact that the wallpaper never made it to the actual iPhone.
Instead it was simply used for the original iPhone marketing (including the launch keynote and a TV ad), but ultimately scrapped.
Now it’s turned up inside the iOS 16 beta as an available wallpaper.
It’s a brilliant tribute to Steve Jobs in the year that the iPhone turns 15 years old.
Sadly it’s impossible to say whether the clownfish wallpaper will remain for the general release of iOS 16.
But it would be a great Easter egg if it was kept on.
