False. This is a support community. Not a support question and answer. The people with high post counts on this board are full of useless common sense that the average person already knows. A board like this is user to user attempting to "support" someone. Not to flame thread saying you guys are idiots we already told you no. Grow up we aren't in kindergarten or the stone ages.
If you buy a product you expect it to work the way you want. My 2002 MINI Cooper S to me is almost perfection. Now given we paid $27,XXX in 2002 for it, but everything I want and need it to do it will and then some. I can adjust all sorts of things and customize anything I want about the car freely. Now why is it that I buy a phone in 2011 and I can't even get it in orange or red(thank you zeetron :) ) and customize the actual internal appearance I want. Windows 3.0 had more flipping customobility than any iOS to date, so long as it is not opened.
Hiding it or ignoring it is fighting ignorance with ignorance. It doesn't solve the problem and it still gets in the way. I had a beautiful 3 folder system till iOS 5 came out and now I am currently trying to downgrade back to 4.3.3.
It is forcing something onto a consumer attempting to make them buy more items. If you open a phone look for something called NoNewsIsGoodNews and you will never have to worry again like me :) now as for reminders, voice memos, stocks and such we are still SOL.
