There is a Clownfish wallpaper option for some people who have installed the third alpha. Steve Jobs introduced a wallpaper for the original iPhone in 2007, but it hasn't been launched yet. It isn't showing up for everyone, but it can be added as a wallpaper option in the future.

Some users appear to be seeing a new Clownfish wallpaper in iOS 16 beta 3. This is the wallpaper Steve Jobs used when the original iPhone was announced in 2007 — but it never actually ever shipped with any iPhone. Here we are 15 years later. https://t.co/OLTvb1KVJG — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) July 6, 2022
