Managing the Home Screen Using iPhone Mirroring
With the latest betas of these updates, Apple has added a new feature to iPhone Mirroring: the ability to enter “jiggle mode” and rearrange your iPhone’s Home Screen.
With iPhone Mirroring enabled you can now long-press on your iPhone’s Home Screen with your Mac’s mouse or trackpad to enter jiggle mode. The feature then works just as it does on your iPhone, allowing you to drag icons and widgets between different pages. You can also adjust widget sizes, manage the new icon tinting feature in iOS 18, and add new widgets.

There are a few things still missing from iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, including the ability to access Notification Center and Control Center and edit your iPhone’s Lock Screen.
It’s so much easier using a mouse. But this seems worse than the old way with iTunes where you could see all the home screens at once on the Mac.

Update (2024-09-25): Mario Guzmán:
Apple really needs to develop an editor view for customizing home screens and Control Center. It’s so broken that the slightest movement can mess everything up in an instant. If they had a separate editor view, you can Apply it or Cancel it if you don’t like it and go back to what you had before.
Either develop this or fine-tune your current style of editing because I shouldn’t be afraid to add a widget to my Home Screen without messing up my current layout completely. LOL

How is that easier ? That look much harder to me...
Especially since you can move multiple app at the same time on iOS by tapping additional icons while dragging
Latest betas broke Logitech mouse scrolling (with smooth scrolling enabled in Logi Options+). It’s always one step forward, two steps back with Apple.
@Léo: I have learned to never install Logitech software. I still happily use the K780 keyboard and M720 "Triathlon" mouse with my Mini M1 which can now (since a year or so, sigh) be used again to log on from cold boot to a system with Filevault enabled. Filevault is so restrictive in unexpected ways, for example VNC (aka. Screen Sharing) is also not possible when logged out on a system where Filevault is enabled. That defeats the purpose of remote management! (I'm sure Apple would refer me to Apple Remote Desktop, but any money is too much for my occasional use.)
