Widgets screen and App Library, anyone else feel Apple hasn't quite nailed this?

I like the widgets so far, I just want a transparent background option and remove the label text.

Agreed, I don’t get the app library. I already have my apps grouped by type. what does this add? Or is it just for disorganized people?

Yup, this should be optional with on/off toggle. Adds clutter otherwise. Same goes for the widget page now that we can move and stack them. On my phone, I have three home screen pages and only one is used.

I really like the idea of widgets on the home screen and the app library, but not sure I like it in practice.

Widgets specifically, I feel like they could be more compact and use less space. I tried 3 of the 2x4 size widgets and it completely fills a home screen but I don't feel like I get enough information for a whole screen's real estate worth of view.

Here’s the good news - people will write all sorts of apps to give you more information density. I tested it out - writing widgets is ridiculously simple.

Plus you have stacks, so if there are things you don’t need to see simultaneously you’re set (i have stocks for the mornings and when the markets close it shifts to health activity. It allegedly learns, and will eventually figure out when to switch back and forth).
