Is it possible to have too many iPhone apps?

I recently downloaded a bunch of iphone apps. I’m not sure if there is a limit to how many pages of apps that you can have. I think there is a limit because now there are some apps that are missing from my iPhone completely. Is there a way to get those apps back?

It is true that apple has a limit on how many home screen pages you may have.
In the new version of the iphone os (3.0 and later) there are eleven pages of apps you can have on your home screen.

However not all is lost and the apps that you cannot see an icon for are indeed still installed on your device.

Here is how to get them:

on your iphone, there is a hidden page that you can get to easilly. It is the "spotlight search" that allows you to search any contacts/music/app or email installed or downloaded on the phone.

In order to access this you must be on the first page of your iphone home screen. To do this, simply press the home button so you see all of your app icons, then either swipe to the left or press the home button one more time and you will see a search field on the top of the screen and a keyboard on the bottom.

From here you may search for any app on the phone, as long as you know the name of the application.

Eleven pages is a lot of apps! that is over 180!
you must really love your phone.
