We've been getting a few requests for these, so here they are. WWDC 2013 wallpapers in Retina for your iPhone and iPad, both in the original white and in a hack-together black (my preference). Enjoy!

These look horrible on my iPhone 5, am I missing something?

They have to be downloaded from full site in order to get full resolution, thanks iMore

Works fine from the iMore forum app... save it to camera roll, and go into the photos and set it as a wallpaper... the black looks spiffy as a lock screen. :)

Sadly, the original WWDC logo was only put up on Apple's website at a resolution of 1960*1000, with the actual logo itself being less than 900 pixels square. That makes for disappointment when you scale it up to the 2048*1536 screen of the iPad. And it just so happens that there's a lot of cool color interplay in the logo, but it's just so small.

So I did what I do and rebuilt it with a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Attached for iPad and iPhone, here's a colorful spray based on that WWDC logo.

Don't you all see the pixelation in the OP's iPhone files? Especially in the MMXIII area!

Even doing a simple Shift+Command+4 screen cap with my MBP Retina on developer.apple.com/wwdc gave me a higher quality result without any pixelation.

Derek's wallpaper is incredible! I'm going with that one. Maybe I'll switch if they get fixed.

I just hacked together a new version using Paintbrush. I took the image from Apple's site which came to 900 x 900. I then added some padding to the width (20 each side) and then calculated the height based on the iPhone 5 aspect ratio (940 x 1.775), rounded slightly up to 1770. The end result is a much cleaner logo!!
