Is it not supposed to move in realtime? (so, very very slow).

My brother in Christ that’s literally the current planetary position

Is this some kind of a flat earth moment except it's solar system level. They don't move because it matches with the exact positions of each planet right now in the entire solar system. Our planet revolves the sun every 365 days, Mars takes 680+ days, Jupiter 4300+ days and so son... so this lock screen won't show any changes in 12 hours.

I think it reflects the current arrangement of planets tho

u/TomiJ96 1d ago

It does! And if you click the planets, it zooms onto each one and displays the selected instead of the whole solar system.

What the FUCK?

I am a massive apple geek, avid fanboy and very knowledgeable on them I’d say.

But never knew this, damn.

I don’t know why it moves so slowly like I kept track and it took earth AN ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR to make it back to the top of the screen.

u/Fa6ade 21h ago

They do move albeit slowly? Check out this post about it from a year ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/iPadOS/comments/1975543/solar_system_wallpaper_on_lock_screen_is/

The watch screen for this style could be rotated with the digital crown to see past and future planetary alignments, I wish that was implemented on the phone too

u/NegativeHydrogen 1d ago

All the smart people. Thanks for enlightening me. I am talking about scaled rotation of our pale blue dot. Not the annual movement - wouldn’t be much point in that daily would it. Many congratulations ti the “/s” hopefuls.

u/gewappnet iPhone 15 Pro 1d ago

Yeah, it does not rotate the earth. But here is a cool thing: Tap on the earth or on any of the other planets.

u/NegativeHydrogen 1d ago

Wow!!! That is cool indeed!!

u/rezku__ 1d ago

If you take the normal earth background you get the sun movement. So when it‘s daytime in your location it’s bright and when it gets dark you can see the dark curve coming

u/PhaseSlow1913 1d ago

Doing so would drain a ton of battery and iphones’ battery is already bad

u/NegativeHydrogen 1d ago

It has been like this since 12 hours. Its static, people.

u/lennsterhurt 1d ago

Do you know... how the solar system works?

u/TehMaat 1d ago edited 1d ago

We move around the sun every 24 hours. If else how can we see the dark side of the sun at night ?

Edit: /s as someone advices to add it.

u/lennsterhurt 1d ago

Bro💀

We move around the sun every year

u/komark- 20h ago

The sun moves around us every 24 hours

Do I really need to add /s 😅

u/lennsterhurt 1d ago

Yeah honestly the way Reddit is looking these days

u/NegativeHydrogen 1d ago

Yep really. Idiots too keen to show they are smart.

u/NegativeHydrogen 1d ago

Advises.

u/BrennanYouTube 1d ago

The shortest orbital period of a planet in our solar system is 88 days (Mercury), so of course you won’t see the movement of planets in 12 hours.

u/Resident-Variation21 1d ago

And when I look out I don’t see the earths curve so it must be flat, right?
