This means you can place icons and widgets on the home screen completely freely, thereby creating empty spaces. This can be useful, for example, to ensure that you can easily reach all icons with one hand without ever having to stretch your finger to the top of the screen to open an app.

If you are familiar with Android, you know that their home screen has always looked like this.

Furthermore, you can customize the appearance of icons and widgets. This is done by choosing dark or light, which also affects icons for apps that support it.
