Can you fix the wallpapers getting blurred on the top?

Since iOS 17.0 it was introduced a new feature that blurs the top if the wallpalper doesnt proper fit the screen "the idea was make a cleaner look in general to the time battery indicator and else, but there are so many resolutions around all the phones that just messed it all up.


Just look:

iPhone 14: 6.1-inch, 2532 x 1170px

iPhone 14 Plus: 6.7-inch, 2778 x 1284px

iPhone 14 Pro: 6.1-inch, 2556 x 1179px

iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6.7-inch, 2796 x 1290px

iPhone 13 standard models: 1200 x 2640 pixels

iPhone 13 Pro models: 1320 x 2880 pixels

iPhone 12 mini: 2340 x 1080 pixels

iPhone 12 and 12 Pro: 2532 x 1170 pixels

iPhone 12 Pro Max: 2778 x 1284 pixels

iPhone 11: 828 x 1792 pixels

iPhone 11 Pro: 1125 x 2436 pixels

iPhone 11 Pro Max: 1242 x 2688 pixels


Please fix this. The worst idea ever.

I agree. Worst idea ever. I don’t like that I can’t use my own pics anymore. Nothing I do makes the pic small enough to fit my screen properly. I’ve resized and cropped… but no matter what the full pic is not seen. I want the old way to set wallpaper back as do just about every Apple user does.
