iOS 18 might break the iPhone’s iconic app grid, and it’s a change no one asked for

The iPhone and iOS are not messy. Throughout their nearly 20-year life they’ve embodied precision and consistency, with no design element left to chance. There’s never a detail unexplained or unaccounted for; and one thing you absolutely will not find, on either the phone itself or in its operating system, is wasted space.

This is why I’m concerned that iOS 18 might introduce, for lack of a better word, intentional sloppiness.
