Change geometry of graphic in an featureLayer and show the change in the Map

It seems a very basicaly problem but I couldn't find a solution for that. What I want:

1: l have a map with a single FeatureLayer with point features .

2: I like to drag a single, selected point to a new position in the map. I just want to move the selected point. It must be very simple for the user. So no additional tools. Just grab the point and move it. -> that's the Problem.

3. The user will later add some attribute information and attachments and then the new position with all the attributes will be saved with applyEdits to the service.

I don't understand how to manipulate the feature/graphic directly in the map without using apply edits.

I think this schould be simple and basic task.

There are many options available via the Draw tools and the Sketch and Editor widgets, but if you want 'no additional tools' then coming up with a 'very simple for the user' workflow becomes a little more complicated. Here's a quick take at one possible approach; it's not perfect but it might give you some ideas:
