You pretty much don’t have to do that now on iOS either. They have the “App Library” feature which is similar to the drawer in android, I think (very little experience with Android.)
But yeah the general argument of “I want to do all of this tedious organization” eventually just scales back to “let me enter my own goddamn 1’s and 0’s.”
Ooh, I’ll take a closer look at my iPad later (I don’t use it much; it’s from my job for testing purposes).
Do all apps still appear in the home screen by necessity? On Android, I keep my home screen limited to just one page of apps, with everything else in the alphabetical drawer. In my past experience on iOS, I really hated how cluttered my home screen got. At one point I had like a dozen pages on my home screen. Uninstalling apps then left it all in disarray unless I sunk a lot of time into manually organizing it.
No you can set it now so that by default apps only appear on the library rather than the home screen. I do pretty much the same as you describe - 1-2 pages of apps, then the rest for app library. For a bonus tip, one thing I’ve pretty much also done since the beginning of time is have a “home” page, a “work” page, a “travel” page, an “entertainment” page (or use folders instead of pages) but since you can create Focus modes and tie that to locations, times, and a bunch of other things, and you can also tie pages to focus modes, it allows me basically to pick up my phone that has a home screen catering to the mode I’m in without ever really thinking about it.
