I have read countless articles and posts about the new firmware for the iPhone.  There are a bunch of bug fixes, a few new features – like better podcast control! – and a change here and there.  But there’s one thing I haven’t seen anybody mention.  When you update an app that you’ve downloaded via the Apple App Store, the icon will REPLACE the icon in the exact location that the old version held.

People – including me – have complained since the App Store opened about the annoying fact that when you upgrade a program, the original icon is deleted but the new icon is placed in the next available location.  You constantly were re-arranging your icons to move those apps to “normal” place you had them.

I’m very surprised that I haven’t seen this mentioned as it was such a sore spot for many people in the past.  Apparently the continuing lack of system-wide copy and paste functionality overshadowed the minor advancements Apple has made with issues such as this.
