It's called "home" button for a reason.
- dpark 15y agoThanks for the insight. Now we can discuss whether "home" means "screen 1" or if it means the "desktop app". Either could fit the word "home". Apple has so far chosen then second meaning.
- zakovyrya 15y agoSure, we can discuss whatever we want. Of course, it's a screen 1. You can see it on any promotional picture. This, for example: http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/ http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/
- dpark 15y agoWhat Apple chose is very clearly not the "first screen of apps". If that's what "home" meant to Apple then we wouldn't be discussing it, because that's all the "home" button would do.
- zakovyrya 15y agoEven if you go out through the window, it is still easier to come back through the front door.
- cubicle67 15y agoDon't forget, when Apple gave it that name, there were no additional app screens, nor a search screen. Home was screen 1; there was no other option
