How incompetent Apple is to release an iOS like this?

My phone is 16 Pro. I was able to do full screen large icons on my SE2020 with no gaps anywhere.
Apple's way or the highway. They gave you a choice with large mode. You don't like it. It wasn't there before. You lose nothing by staying in small mode. It's not incompetence. It's a design choice. If you don't like it, submit feedback and you may see some tweaks in iOS 19. I have been submitting feedback annually about how bad App Library is since iOS 14 beta.
But some phones don’t have this issue. It’s not design. Good try though.
I think your SE is the exception, not the rule. Much different screen size/resolution. This is the way it looks in large mode on every 14/15/16 size (reg, Plus, Max) I have tested it on.
There's room there above the dock for another row
It'd be nice to be able to use it if we'd prefer to

So you are saying Apple has different icon positioning design for different phones or they are incompetent to adjust this design according to the resolution?
"Yes" 🤣
More seriously ... their software QA and consistency is so spotty that it could be a bug, a feature, an omission or by design ... any or all are possible!
I bet if Macrumors made a post about this issue and if gets big in social media, I am almost sure Apple would consider looking at it. Because that gap is very unnecessary.
I will repeat. If this "design" works with some phones and don't work with others, then there is clearly an issue. Period.
Don’t all iPhones have 7 rows of icons regardless of model? The SE is smaller so graphically it looks better. That can’t be said of the Pro Max models for sure.
Not for iOS 18. Still going strong. The reason why I kept the SE2020 because I hate FaceID and hoping TouchID would be out for SE2024 or some other model but never happened.
