What Do You See When You Look At Your iPhone?

    When you look at all the icons on your iPhone, do you see rows, columns or something else entirely?

    When you unlock your iPhone, what do you see? How do you read your iPhone? Do you see 4, 5 or 6 rows or do you see 4 columns?

    Some people see rows. They read from left to right.

    Some people see columns. They start at the top and go down.

    The early winner appears to be rows...

    @noahchestnut does anyone see it as columns and if so are we supposed to just be ok with that?

    I did find a single defender of columns!

    Brian Frederick @brifred

    @noahchestnut @JamieMottram definitely columns. Are you guys holding your phones horizontally?

    @noahchestnut And I think I see boxes of 2x2 or 2x3 (2 across, 3 down)?
