It's not impossible to make it symmetric for both, though. With consistent spacings. E.g.

    19+18+18+18+19 (iPhone 3GS)
    38+36+36+36+38 (iPhone 4)

As I've said below[1], less margin on the edge will make more room for app title for the 2nd and 3rd icons.

Oh true, missed that. Finally pulled out the phone to realize this. And then the other option 16+20+20+20+16 / 32+40+40+40+32 already has too big a difference between the margins on the edges compared to the ones between the icons. Makes perfect sense now.
