Apple has limited the number of home screens on the iPhone to 11. Even though that adds up to a total of 180 applications including the dock, some users want more space. This is possible on firmware version 3.1.2 thanks to a trick that doesn't require jailbreaking.
Follow these steps to get more than 11 home pages on your iPhone:
- Make sure you have 11 pages of apps. You can drag apps over to create a new page.
- Blank spaces are OK, but the first and last page must be completely full of apps (16 on each).
- Move the Voice Memos icon to the last position on the last page (all the way in the bottom right, but not in the dock).
- While the icons are still wiggling, move one icon up from the dock to bump the Voice Memos icon off the screen and replace it in the last position.
- Press the home button so the
icons stop wiggling and reboot the iPhone. - You now have 12 home screens. Just readjust the icon positions how you like them and return the icon you moved from the dock back to the dock.
- Repeat the process for more pages.
