Apple has been having fun with its backgrounds of late, hiding secret messages like 'Air' and 'Mac' within the abstract patterns. These hidden words are part of a trend that started with the M2 MacBook Air and have continued in more recent products.

The latest budget MacBook Neo even features a more subtle version of this trend. In a new video exploring the phenomenon, Byte Review's Tom Hitchens shows how some of these messages are brilliantly hidden, while others are easier to spot from a distance.

Interestingly, it seems that 'Pro' products are the ones Apple has chosen to go truly stealthy with. The wallpapers are yet another sign of a company rediscovering its sense of fun. From its bizarre TikTok videos to its adventurous new ads, Apple has been on a roll lately when it comes to playful design.

So next time you check your Mac or iPhone wallpaper, take a closer look – there might be more than meets the eye!
