Jumping the gun, but tomorrow is just around the corner. Plus this forum has been painfully slow. Let's pick up the forum with a thread showing us your new home-screen after you set up your 8-Plus.

Going from a 7 to an 8-Plus I am looking forward to the extra space!

Plus I always get a kick out of seeing what people find to be their most important Apps on their home page.

Re: 8-Plus | Show Us Your New Home Screen (After Setup!)

I know I am probably the only one, but...my 8 plus home screen is going to look exactly like my 7 plus homescreen, lol. I'm a creature of habit, and I'm going to (in theory/hopefully) restore from a backup. My job is in social media, so every icon on my homescreen is a social network (or phone, mail, messages). Meh. But I'm excited to see everyone's. Maybe I will be inspired to change things up. :)

My phone is mostly business, so I always keep it the same. It's why I only use 20% of my storage. Plus I almost always use a solid black background. I like the contrast.

You're not the only one. My 8 plus will be the same as my 7 plus. I have all my apps in folders (except the main home screen) and will use the same wallpaper.

It seems we're all 3 a bit alike, once we find a setting we like, we stick with it.

I always set mine up as new, but the layout is technically the same. No apps on homescreen, most used on the second page, then folders on the third page.

Yeah sure, they’re new wallpapers used on the Apple website but not included on the phone for some reason!

Are those the new wallpapers that are going to be included with the X? I've seen similar ones that are allegedly for the X only, to show off the OLED display.

Not sure, on the website they use these on the 8 and 8+ but they’re not included in iOS 11 so who knows!? The iPhone X wallpapers are different again. Weird, but I really like these ones

Actually, just checked on my 8 Plus and those wallpapers are included on the phone.

You’re right!!! Hadn’t even noticed! I assumed as they didn’t appear on my 7+ we weren’t getting them lol

Must be exclusive to the 8
