Ooh, I'll take a closer look at my iPad later (I don't use it much; it's from my job for testing purposes).
Do all apps still appear in the home screen by necessity? On Android, I keep my home screen limited to just one page of apps, with everything else in the alphabetical drawer. In my past experience on iOS, I really hated how cluttered my home screen got. At one point I had like a dozen pages on my home screen. Uninstalling apps then left it all in disarray unless I sunk a lot of time into manually organizing it.
No you can set it now so that by default apps only appear on the library rather than the home screen. I do pretty much the same as you describe - 1-2 pages of apps, then the rest for app library. For a bonus tip, one thing I've pretty much also done since the beginning of time is have a "home" page, a "work" page, a "travel" page, an "entertainment" page (or use folders instead of pages) but since you can create Focus modes and tie that to locations, times, and a bunch of other things, and you can also tie pages to focus modes, it allows me basically to pick up my phone that has a home screen catering to the mode I'm in without ever really thinking about it.
