How organized is your iPhone??

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'm about to be "that guy": can you post that wallpaper?

On topic, I organize my homescreen similarly. I'd post but it's a bit of a mess since I lost my jailbreak.

Very organized...all on one screen, even if jailbroken.

I noticed some users have "Sideline" on their phone. Is there something this app offers as opposed to Google Voice

Yep, totally agree. Requiring an extra tap for frequently used apps is an exercise in inefficiency and is, imo, quite stupid :)

But in the grand scheme of things this is opening an app not building a car or something like that. I pretty much know where my apps are without looking and can open them plenty quick enough even if they're in a folder.

I'm the same way. I have the folder names blacked out and still know right where to look.

If it's a random app I don't use much I just spotlight it.

Yeah, stupid is too strong a word, but I would argue that those extra taps add up.

But in the grand scheme of life with the "extra" time and taps it takes to open Facebook from page 1 or from a folder on page 1 or god forbid swipe from a blank page one to Facebook in a folder on page 2 its going to take a lot of doing it to get to a point where its impacted on doing something else.
 
My most used apps at the top. The rest in folders below.
I like it clean but organized. Just one page.

I organize by the page kind of like people would put groups in folders. So I have a page with games for example then next page would be utilities, then photo apps and so on.

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.

So how does this answer the question posed by the OP/thread as far as how your iPhone is organized?

Personally I've never wanted to just randomly place icons all over. Its not a weakness its by design. I don't think anyone gives a crap about your nexus. I would try and stay on topic or take it over to XDA.
 
My first page is wallpaper with my dock having phone, Facebook, messages and my camera. My second page is this:

Just looking at this and realized I really need Disney first since all other folders are alphabetical.
 
Same as my iPad, stock on first page, order of download unchanged on the rest, with no folders whatsoever, and in the 'Dock' let's call it, most used apps.
