![]() New versions of the screen saver have an offline mode where the videos are stored locally, but they are still downloaded when they are first used. Each video is about 150MB, which can be important if your iPhone is using Personal Hotspot to share the Internet connection with a Mac, or if you have a strictly metered bandwidth. This means that the videos will not be downloaded to the Mac with the screen saver, but will be streamed or served from the cache. One thing worth noting is that the videos from these screensavers are streamed from Apple by default by requesting the appropriate HD movie from an Apple CDN with the correct URL of this json file on. If you really want to get fancy and don’t mind the little resource usage, you can set the screensavers as your desktop wallpaper in Mac OS X, which will give you some sort of live wallpaper. Note that some of these images have the optional clock enabled, a feature possible in all OS X screensavers.įor Mac users with multiple monitors (like myself), the screen saver will show different aerial images per monitor by default, but you can turn that off.
