THE HOME SCREEN has always been a major part of the iPhone identity. But recently at the latest WWDC, Apple made an announcement about abandoning the home screen in future iPhones.
With iOS 9, a major part of using the iPhone will occur on smart notification panels, innnovative search tools, and content ideas that will make relevant apps appear right away. The home screen will be naught but a secondary feature on future iPhones. Smartphones are just too advanced these days to be pinned to an “ancient panel” like the home screen.

In the early days, the iPhone’s appeal was centered squarely on the home screen. For a gadget that was an all-in-one utility, a phone, an organizer, an iPod, a camera, a gps map, and an internet device — the grids and icons allowed organization in an easy way. The home screen was so vital to the iPhone it got it’s own button near the bottom of the smartphone. You could always find your way home by simply pressing the button. The evolution of notification alerts has allowed iPhone users to bypass the home screen, and go straight to the app that dinged, beeped, or vibrated it’s presence. This has added to the one glaring fact… The Home Screen is losing it’s usefulness because;
You know what they say. Looks aren’t everything. It’s what’s inside that counts the most. Well, this may be true, but let’s face it. Looks matter. Comparing the appearance of the new iPhone 8 and iPhone XR is an essential factor to consider. Remember, you’re the one that has to look at it every day.
And as far as looks go, the iPhone XR would be the belle of the ball with its beautifully sleek design, vibrant colors, and new-style gesture controls. It’s much bigger than the iPhone 8 with a 6.1-inch display which creates for the ultimate cinematic experience for the user, illustrating crisp and clean pictures and videos for your optimized viewing pleasure.
The iPhone XR comes in a variety of bright, vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, blue, and coral while the iPhone 8 comes in your standard black or white colors.
So if you’re looking for something pretty to show off, then the iPhone XR is the way to go. Just like your clothing, interior home design, haircut, etc. your iPhone should accent your style and brand. Now, we may feel as if we belong in the new Hugo Boss suit or Chanel dress. Instead, we settle for wearing a piece of attire straight from the clearance sales rack at the Gap.
Why do we do this? Because we have to live within our financial means, which brings on another critical point – the price!
Mobile Life On The iPhone is Too Fast For The Home Screen
Following Google Now’s features, iOS 9 will attempt to anticipate exactly what you need when you need it. These new features join the lock screen’s current offerings for circumventing the home screen grid: the swipe-up control center and swipe-down “today” window. iOS 9 will offer a new interactive hub in the form of a customized search panel. You’ll see shortcuts for contacts and apps, both filtered by context. It will be the Home Screen 2.0… New and improved. Apple’s new iOS will detect who you may want to talk to or what you might want to do, based on where you are, what time it is, and what you’re doing. Apple Watch already works like this. On the wrist, notifications and messaging shortcuts take place over the bubbly home screen of apps. For now, the home screen is still a big part of the iPhone.
