For iPad, it's primarily clunky and a huge waste of space.

For iPhone, I'm certain there is a better way to discover and open apps than what was devised a decade ago. The current pull-down search is useful, but as a naive idea: some sort of search & auto-complete on the home screen would be great.

EDIT: Bonus - Trying to organize your apps is a nightmare. How do you organize a bunch of icons split across multiple screens?

> The average person has 60-90 apps installed on their phone, using around 30 of them each month and launching 9 per day.

I don't know exactly what that means but I figured it is a good starting point for a discussion.

But is that because it's a mental limitation or is it brought on by the interface?
