Stop Safari from opening at apple.com

Hi, I have a new iPhone 12, iOS 15.0.2. When I launch Safari, it automatically goes right to apple.com. On my old iPhone 7, I had it set so when I launched Safari, it went right to my Favorites page where I could choose what site I wanted to go to.


How do I stop Safari from opening on apple.com?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hi John,


It seems you're having trouble managing tabs in Safari and we can help.


iPhone has always opened to the last page you were looking at, and if it's a new tab you'll see what's called the Start Page with your Favorites and other info.


If you close the tabs open for apple.com, you won't see apple.com next time you use Safari. Keep in mind that if any tabs are open though, you'll see those.
