Will iOS ever get widgets on home screens, not just on notifications?

[cijax]

Hi, I'm fairly new to this site. I have a question about ios and iphone. I been on android since I had an htc evo.

The only reasons I been on android is:
1. a bigger screen
2. widgets
3. Customization

Will ios ever get widgets on home screens, not just on notifications?

Thank you for your time!
Btw I love my ipad and my imac

Welcome to iMore. I also use an Android (Note3), and I like the three things you mentioned as well, but when it comes "real world" everyday use I reach for my Apple iPhone because "it just works". Both OS's are good at what they do. I'm not sure if Apple will ever adapt the Android's total customization, but the larger screens have been released on the iPhone 6/6plus

Ty for your reply. I too have a note 3. Yes
iphone 6+ would be my choice. I just need widgets.

I for one don't think they will make widgets on the home screen, and I really hope they don't unless they are removable. I feel as thought they just clutter up the screen.

Yes the option to add/delete widgets on apps would be great!
