      quoting from a nice piece: https://lmnt.me/blog/app-stores-and-payment-methods.html "It still blows my mind how little the App Store has improved over the last decade. It’s barely changed. Almost every bad thing about the App Store still exists. And almost every good thing that happened for app distribution and payment methods is just the result of regulation."

      Louie Mantia has colored, re-rendered versions of the 10.0 Cheetah Wallpaper that include Dark Mode versions. They are great: https://lmnt.me/blog/wallpapers/

      I think Louie Mantia was an icon designer at Apple back then https://lmnt.me/. Maybe Sebastiaan de With as well https://sdw.space/.
