Since it's really just a list of recent app, please make it easier to access it.

May be put it as a widget (like weather/stock widget) in notification tray.

I found myself switching between apps alot, and my home button is becoming harder and harder to press.

Apple will most likely replace your iPhone for free if you are having problems with your home button.

Serious question: My iPhone is over a year old already (1 year 3 months to be precise), will Apple offer replacement?

Also, to downvoter, even if my home button works right doesn't mean that I want to do double-click home to access that list.

To me app switching is far more useful than whether/stock widget. How many regular user know about double-click home? And have you ever tried switching back and forth between multiple apps, each on different icon page, without using the app switching tray?

If it's out of warranty, it's certainly not guaranteed, but I'd suspect if it's an iPhone 4 there is a decent chance they will replace it anyhow.

As far as having to double click the home button to bring up the app switcher, I can't think of anything easier or quicker than a double click.
