The hardest part of buying a shiny new iPhone X isn't paying it off, but picking a wallpaper to plaster all over its gigantic display.

Now, you can make your iPhone X stand out from the crowd with one of these teardown wallpapers by iFixit that expose all of the phone's inside components.

There are two wallpapers to pick from: one that shows the various components (batteries, chipsets, Taptic Engine, etc.) as if you pried off the OLED screen, and an X-ray view that reveals in detail all of the various little bits on the silicon and the wireless charging pad on the backside of the phone.

You can download both wallpapers here.

They're the perfect free way to give your iPhone a cool technical look. They'll probably also great conversation starters when your friends inevitably ask to see your $1,000+ toy.

If a wallpaper isn't nerdy enough for you, you can always buy a clear back replacement that will really expose the insides.

YouTuber EverythingApplePro swapped his Space Gray iPhone X's glass back with a clear panel, and it looks pretty sweet.

Mind you, it's not at all an easy transplant and you could break your iPhone X in the process (and definitely void its warranty), but to be the envy of everyone else? That's priceless.
