Well, I have some 14 folders on my Home screen each containing multiple apps. I did this to avoid switching back and forth from home screen to screen when looking for an app I can't launch with Siri.
I have absolutely no idea how the upgrade accomplished it, but it kept everything intact. This is especially impressive since I changed all my folders from generating a "News folder, 10 items" "webpages folder, 5 items" to simply verbalizing News, 10 items, and Webpages, 5 items. I essentially deleted the word "folder." I actually believed the upgrade to have failed since all my apps were in their respective folders, but no, everything upgraded just fine. I also rebooted after the upgrade was complete. Oh yeah, I'm not hearing the sound one usually hears when one swipes past every 4th app as was the case in IOS6, so I can't tell what's going on with the structure of the home screen. ...I just performed a 3-finger tap and hold, and I was informed that there are 4 items per line as well as 5 rows, so I'm assuming the Home screen structure is the same as before. As dumb as this may sound, some of the new sounds make me thing "wow, that's kinda cool!" I said this when I used Siri to set an alarm for 30 seconds, and when the alarm went off, the new alarm sound sounded futuristic to me. Dumb, but I like that. >laugh>.

Maybe I have misunderstood, but I thought there were only 3 apps per line now instead of 4, so there would be fewer apps per page.

It was incredibly easy! It took about 8 minutes for iTunes to download the upgrade. It then took about 20 minutes to install, and in about 30 minutes total time I had IOS7 running. I gotta say, the first thing I noticed was some of the different sounds used for clicks have changed; they sound a bit cheap to me. Memories of Pacman pop into my head when I'm in the settings menu. <Smile>. One thing I'm really grateful for is that my apps and folder structure was maintained throughout the process. I was definitely not looking forward to rearranging apps and folders. This upgrade was so painless that I'm still not sure I actually completed this task, but when I looked in Settings/general/About, it states "version 7.0." For the few out there who have not upgraded, the following is the very useful information I used to complete the process. It really helped to first make sure all of my apps were updated as the update process did not have to go through this step as stated in the article.
