I find is to so much easier to just type out the URL of what app I need - facebook, reddit, youtube, etc -

Its just faster to let google auto-complete then having to browse my own phone for the app that I need.

typing the letter "f" is faster than exiting the browser and using my OWN EYES to browse left to right row by row the apps on my phone. How cave-manish.

On the iPhone, it's easy to search for an app with a quick swipe down.

As for cavemanish, some might argue "clicking a large icon" is less cavemanish than having to resort to something as unnatural as a keyboard.

The iPhone keyboard famously are not very good. So are older phones.

The newer android phone have amazing responsive. I sometimes use my phone to actually write presentation speech. Something I though I would never do with my older android phones.

And in iOS 9 you get Siri suggestions, so most likely you won't even need to type anything.
