Here is an interesting question for iPhone owners. Especially those of you who download tons and tons of apps. How do you get more than 11 pages of iPhone apps available on the device?

Apple’s iPhone limits the user to a total of 11 viewable home screen pages. In this article, we will look at a technical secret circulating on the internet that will allow app addicts to squeeze their apps into more than 11 viewable pages.

1. What about the folders?
Some of you might be wondering, why not use the “folder” concept available in the iOS 4 operating system? That way you can bury some of your apps inside those folders and save screen space.

That’s very good; however, you’re still limited to 11 app pages, even with the folder concept. Also, some users I know don’t really like the concept of folders. Then what do you do? Keep reading and discover more…

2. Consolidate all your apps
So let’s move on. The first thing we want to do is assume that you, the app addict, have already consolidated 11 pages of iPhone apps. If you have more, these will not be displayed on the iPhone screen. They’re hiding in iPhone limbo somewhere.

3. Move default apps to last page
The next thing you need to do is identify a set of default apps that you don’t use, such as “Weather”, “Shares”, “YouTube”, “Audio Memo”, etc. Move them to the last page (ie page 11). And yes, it’s true: I know that many users do not use “Weather” or “Actions”, which are provided by default on the first page of the home screen.

4. Drag an icon from page 10 to 11
The next step is to take an icon from page 10 and drag it onto page 11. What this does is the last icon on page 11 is ripped off the page and into iPhone limbo!

Now you can just download another app and replace that empty space on page 11 you just created. What this does is magically create a 12 page for you. All of your “hidden” apps will now be seen on page 12. You’ll also find that if you repeated the same steps above, you can make a page 13.

conclusion
I hope the above tip has been helpful to many of you. Certainly, this tip won’t be relevant to those iPhone users who don’t really download more than a few screens of apps. But for those of you who are crazy about apps, this tip will go a long way in keeping all your apps visible to you on your home screen pages. So good luck and keep visiting the site. I will post more tricks in the future!
