Just discovered this! When you turn iPhone 6 Plus into landscape mode.. folders actually go into a more cover flow like interface. Anybody else noticed this?

Guess I am a little slow lol, I don't really use my phone in landscape mode, haha

Could you please explain how this works exactly? For example, the folder to the right - is that folder actually directly to the right on the homescreen? Do you see big app icons if they're next to the folder? or does it strip out apps and only present a coverflow of folders? Only those on that page or across the whole homescreen? Thanks

I believe the folder to the right is the 2nd page of the folder to the left.

If you look at the screenshot the page dots are missing in the second shot.

When you turn the phone into landscape view in folders, all apps that are on different pages get put into one cover flow like view. Hope it helps :)

They are there - just under the first folder.

Essentially, if you have multiple pages in a folder, the landscape view shows the next one in order and you can swipe through them.
 
Ohhh, thanks everyone, completely misunderstood at first but I get it now, cheers :)

If you look to the bottom of the second screenshot, the page dots have actually moved right to the bottom of the device
