I cannot align the 3 apps the person uses on the thumb side of the home screen and have the rest unused. I have no dedicated back button THIS IS THE WORST for a 98 year old with very shaky hands.

Consistency? Everything is all over the place for different apps.

The back button is probably the biggest thing keeping me from an android. Every time I’m handed an android to look at something that stupid button gets triggered.

that is a thing you can disable for a long time

Sounds like (assistive access)[https://support.apple.com/guide/assistive-access-iphone/welc...] is what you want as it solves both of these. It gives full app placement control to you and an always on screen back button.
