Why does Apple make itunes so hard to get back to the iphone page?

Ok so I have iTunes open, I plug in my iphone, and I can see the iphone tab on the right that lets me look at my phone stuff. I go to update my apps, and when the updates have downloaded, iTunes throws me to the music area, and there's absolutely no way to get back to the iphone screen. The button that says iphone isn't even there. I have to shut down iTunes, unplug the phone, plug it back in, and wait for it all to come up again. Has anyone else experienced this?

Not sure why they don't rectify that.
