I'm not sure I understand what we're talking about. When you install an app on iOS, the icon pops onto the home screen or an adjacent page if there's no room. Can you not move the icons after that? I know you can put them in folders.

I guess that when you come from a land of tweaking things to juuust the way you like it, any hindrance to this would be annoying

At least on my iPhone (no idea if iPads are different) you can reorder, but the icons will always be "dense" meaning no free spaces between them. They will always align in full rows beginning from top left. You can put stuff in folders, and you can change the order, but not have one icon in the third row, without the first and second row being fully populated with icons.

I had no idea! I guess it's a minor thing, but that would annoy me. Thank you for explaining.
