This litte entry about to create your own wallpaper for iPhone 4. Before that we need to know a little bit about iPhone screen resolutions and display.

The comparison iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS display:-

The iPhone 4 features a “Retina Screen”, which is Apple’s fancy name for a high resolution mobile display.
