Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

iOS 26 adds a new “Spatial Scenes” feature that brings a 3D effect to iPhone wallpapers, making photos appear more immersive and dynamic as you move the device. The effect, which is also integrated into the Photos app and Home Screen widgets, works especially well as a wallpaper by adding depth and subtle motion to personal images. Users can choose from Apple's suggested spatial wallpapers or manually enable the effect on nearly any photo in their library through the Wallpaper settings, where iOS automatically generates the 3D scene before saving it.
