How organized is your iPhone??

Did you know with iOS10 you can now remove the icons of the stock apps you don't want anymore?
Yes, andy, I know. I just prefer to stay on iOS 9 as I am used to slide-to-unlock feature.
I like having the apps I use the most right in the middle of the screen. I have an iPhone 7 Plus so this makes accessing these apps easier. The apps I use the most are Quora, Apple Music, mail, messages, WhatsApp, messenger, and of course the ones on the dock 
I keep mine extremely minimalistic as possible. First page is empty so I can view my wallpaper, second page is just two rows of folders with each folder organized by category of use (utilities, entertainment, social, daily, etc). Then the dock just has my 4 constantly used apps.

Actually having just today received the iPhone 7 I, for the first time actually, put some thought into how I organise my apps.
First home screen, obviously, are apps that I use daily. The ones getting the most use are positioned so that I can reach them one handed with my left thumb.
Second home screen apps that I don't use as often, and then after those come the folders where there are far too many apps that I seriously should go through and delete most of them. But, seeing as I just doubled the storage from my previous phone, I'm not holding my breath and am instead dreading of becoming even more of a app-hoarder.
Oh well, such is life.

I have 2 pages. I don't download tons off apps so it easy for me to organize. My most used app on the first page, second page has apps that I use but not as much and not as important as those apps on the first page. Barely used apps will be in those folders
since you get to camera and the clock from control center, you can hide them in a holder on different screen than home screen.
All my apps on home screen. Only one identifying app on first page of each folder.
Uhhhhhhh, mine has so many icons that I can't find anything from swiping anymore. I decided to try and organize with folders but even that is too crazy. The only icons I actually find/press on anymore are the dock icons and the icons right above it which total 8. The way I launch apps now is with Siri or Spotlight. Realistically, I just want Siri or Spotlight to access everything I need.
Organization is an epic Apple weakness.
Refusing to give users full control is typical for the Cupertino Company. Forcing us to use "snap to grid" litters the screen horribly.
My Nexus 6P is nicely organized!
Thanks to Google we're allowed full control over where we place the app icons.
Yep, totally agree. Requiring an extra tap for frequently used apps is an exercise in inefficiency and is, imo, quite stupid
