THE HOME SCREEN has always been a major part of the iPhone identity. But recently at the latest WWDC, Apple made an announcement about abandoning the home screen in future iPhones.

With iOS 9, a major part of using the iPhone will occur on smart notification panels, innnovative search tools, and content ideas that will make relevant apps appear right away.

Apple’s new iOS will detect who you may want to talk to or what you might want to do, based on where you are, what time it is, and what you’re doing. Apple Watch already works like this. On the wrist, notifications and messaging shortcuts take place over the bubbly home screen of apps. For now, the home screen is still a big part of the iPhone.
