iPhone Home Screen Archetypes

The Closet Gamer

Games are running the show. Your phone is basically a console.

What it means

Be honest: your phone is a console with a phone app attached. Games dominate the real estate and everything else is squeezed into the margins. No shame — but your home screen tells on you the second anyone borrows it.

Signs you're The Closet Gamer

  • A full page (or three) of games
  • Notifications you muted to keep playing
  • Productivity apps exiled to the last page

How to raise your score

Keep the games — just stop letting them own page one. A clean split between 'play' and 'everything else' makes the phone feel intentional instead of accidental.
