5 iPhone wallpapers that hide the screen notch and how to get them

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are officially available (here’s how to get one). And with the new Super Retina XDR display, you’ll need a cool wallpaper that shows off the screen. If you were hoping the camera notch would disappear with the new iPhone release, you’re in luck because these wallpapers help hide the wide notch at the top of the screen.
