Here is what Seigard sent me, when I first got my phone - could be this can 
help you:

Here is what Siegard sent me when I first got my iPhone, could be this is what 
you are needing:

•       
•       Moving Contacts or Apps – from Siegard on list
•       
•       1. When on an app or contact to move, you want to move is to swipe down 
or up with one finger where Voiceover says “Editing Mode.”
•       2. Then double tap, Voiceover says “started editing”. This basically 
replaces the double tap and hold.
•       3. Next swipe down twice to “drag” followed by the name of the contact 
or app you want to move and double tap.
•       4. Now go to where you want to put the contact or app whether it’s in a 
different position on the home screen, a different home screen or a folder. 
•       5. Put focus on the contact, folder or another app and swipe down 
again, you now have the following options:
•       6. Drop contact/App Name before contact/AppName (or FolderName) (the 
first contact/AppName is the app you are dragging.
•       7 The second is the contact/app or folder you are on.
•       8. Swipe down again and you have Drop AppName after whatever 
contact/app or folder you are on
•       9. Swipe down again and if you put focus on a contact or folder you 
hear “Drop AppName in whatever folder you are on.
•       
•       Whichever option you want to do, drop before, drop after or drop in a 
folder, just double tap when you get there and that’s it.

When I got this, I did manage to get Contacts at the very top, but as I am 
trying before sending this, I am having a time of it moving Camera down to 
where I moved Photos, when I moved Contacts to the top and mail over to where 
Contacts had been. 

Anyway, it can be done on the iPhone too. When I got mine, I had concerns about 
that, because I did know it could be done on an Android.  

Best regards,

Carolyn

Subject: RE: Moving an icon to a specific place on the home screen

I usually also like to keep apps I use a whole lot along an edge, but 
personally I don't care that much if it's at the top left or the bottom right 
etc. 
Anyways, I am 99.9% sure you couldn't just put, for example, 4 apps on a home 
screen and have them just in the top left and right and bottom left and right 
corners. I have never come across a way to leave a blank space or line and 
never heard of one.
As for quickly opening apps, yes, there is of course SIRI and if you know 
handwriting it is also a great way to get to an app relatively quickly and 
easily. It does involve one turn of the rotor when you touch the home screen 
and then of course a quick draw of a letter or two and, depending if that still 
results in more than one entry, you may have to flick down with 2 fingers until 
you find the app you want.

Regards,
Sieghard

Are used to care more about how my abs were organized, keeping them in folders 
etc. so I knew more or less where they all were. I still do that to some 
extent. But since Siri can launch any app I want, and I think you can do that 
on your android as well, for me, placement of apps is way less important than 
it used to be.
