In case you don’t know Hoff, with iOS 8, your first page can be void of apps. You can keep that first page clean for wallpaper.
Whaaaaat, that's crazy. I always throw the crap iOS stuff I don't need into a folder on the last page, so for this screenshot I pushed the page all the way left, pushing it off the screen. It took three fingers to make one photo, but oh well!
In the end, I don't think I need an entirely empty page, at least not the main one. Does that mean that when you hit the home button it takes you to an empty screen? That seems less useful. :-/
