iPhone users who are obsessed with organizing their screens by app category can now take a breather. Apple has announced that it will add in folders, which will enables users to organize their apps into folders on the home screens. Simply drag one app icon to another and it makes a folder. The folder is then auto-named based on the genre of apps, and all users have to do is tap to expand it, then tap to launch. The Apple demo made it look very easy and very aesthetically pleasing.
Folders will also increase the number of apps you can see on your phone's home pages to a maximum of 2,160, which is quite a lot of apps. These folders will pair nicely with the new ability to customize iPhone backgrounds. Additionally, the lock screen and home screen wallpaper will work just like on the iPad.
