iPhone Home Screen 2025
I don't know exactly why I forgot to post last year, but compared to 2023 and 2022 my iPhone home screen has changed quite a bit.
Let's start with the major differences:
- The only widget is just the calendar, and it's only Outlook. I've unified both my personal and work accounts there
- I've replaced Google Maps with Apple Maps. Here in California, it works significantly better
- I've brought the Amazon app to the home screen because we've been using it a lot in recent months, even for grocery shopping both for Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods
- Apple Sports has replaced any other app dedicated to soccer results
- Fantacalcio, Spotify, and Feedly remain unchanged
- I've unified all photography and editing apps into a single folder
- I've necessarily had to bring the Teams app to the home screen, as it's now the only app I use for any work communication
- 1Password continues to be among the most used apps, and I certainly won't switch to Apple Passwords
- I've created two more folders, one where all social networks live, completely removing every notification. I open them only and exclusively when I remember. My usage time has dropped drastically. The second with all communication apps, similarly I've disabled every notification except for important people who I know a. won't spam me b. need to reach me quickly
- I'm testing Google Tasks to quickly write my to-do list, disorganized and scattered, but for how my mind works, it's fulfilling its task very well
- UpNote is my note app of reference now
- I got access to Perplexity Pro for a year at a ridiculous price. I'm using Google less and less
- Last but not least, my default browser is now Microsoft Edge. Unbelievable, but it works very well and especially with the Collections feature I was able to eliminate another app from the list
