One of the handy things about the iPhone home screen is the ability to customize the position of icons and to have a number of pages, so you can arrange your icons in a manner that is logical to you. For example, I have all my utility Apps on one page, Games on Another and so on. The problem is, and it’s really really annoying, when you go to update an Application, or even worse when you update a couple at a time, rather than replacing the existing ones, it deletes them and downloads the updated version, putting it at the first available free spot on a page (usually the one that the first App was on).
It makes keeping your iPhone organized really frustrating every time there’s a bunch of updates. Recently there was a flurry of updates for the Apps I have on my phone and after a while I got fed up re organizing everything every couple of days. Just leaving them is a pain too because you become instinctively aware of an apps position after a wile and then when it moves you have to re-train your reflexes to it’s new location. Because there’s no functional problem as such, this is probably low on Apple’s list of things to fix, but I hope they do because it really takes away from the otherwise excellent user experience of the phone.
