I came across a couple of simple home screen tricks from Tuaw readers which I am sure you will love.

iPhone firmware v1.1.3 makes it possible to rearrange the icons on your Home screen, also swap the icons in and out of the Dock and add an additional eight Home screen pages.

In the video on the January Update 08 Apple had demonstrated that one
of the ways to navigate through the nine Home screen pages you could
simply flick or drag your finger left or right on the home screen.

There is another way which Apple didn’t tell us about, read all about it and more after the jump.

There is another way to navigate through the nine Home screen pages which Apple didn’t tell us about, if you tap just to the left or the right of the dots at the bottom of your screen then you can move a page at a time without having to drag.

Did you know it is also possible to pause Home screen drags?

If you start to move between screens by dragging and then tap the dots at the bottom of the screen during that drag, the screen pauses. You’ll see some portion of both home screens at once, and you can even interact with them normally by tapping icons. When the screen pause you can see up to 24 icons at once, 16 off to one side and 4 along the other side and 4 in the bar at the bottom.

In case you know of any iPhone tips or tricks which is not listed here at iPhone hacks then please feel free to share them in the comments.
