Update:

It is true that almost any picture, whether it is made with the application Camera a iOS, whether it is downloaded from Facebook or the Internet, can be set as background (wallpaper) on iPhone or iPad.
There are also more demanding users, for which not any image can be set as background for Lock Screen and / or Home Screen. This image must be at a quality resolution (DPI) and an optimal size in order to run the Parallax effect.

What does the effect of parallax mean in iOS?

The movement made by the background image (wallpaper) with the change of the vertical and / or horizontal position of the iPhone or iPad display.

In order to obtain a wallpaper that we can set it in "perspective" / parallax mode, it is necessary to have a larger size than that of the display.

For this reason, the dimensions of the background images for the iPhone will have different sizes, depending on the size of the screen.
