What if...

What if Apples does plan on adding widgets or something of that sort? I'm sure you all know that Apple has allow users to make the home screen empty of apps in iOS 6. What if Apple was waiting until the rumored iPad mini announcement to actually announce this feature. After all, the feature would be much more useful in an iPad than an iPhone. Since the increased in size of the iPhone 5's screen, it would also be useful here as well. This could actually be the iPhone 5's exclusive software feature, but they're hinting at the announcement instead of revealing it, because they probably would like some software feature to announce with the iPad mini. Thoughts?
