Also known as “poor man's 3D”, the parallax effect was a thing since Windows Vista at the earliest, but it didn't become a thing until Apple introduced it with iOS 7. Simply put, Apple did it in a way that made us fall in love with it. It makes everything on your screen appear more lively and dynamic, and it's plain old fun twisting the perspective via your device's in-built gyroscope.

Arguably, the best place to get your parallax going on is your wallpaper. You will be looking at it every time you unlock your phone, so you might as well have some fun with it along the way. Alas, the selection of truly beautiful parallax wallpapers that are also free and devoid of intrusive ads isn't exactly rich in the Google Play Store. But you'll hardly find a bad one among the five live parallax wallpapers shown here.
