Tim Cook Talks iPhone Security, His Favorite New Features, and Deleting Stock iOS Apps - Mac Rumors
Saw this and thought it was quite interesting.
Of course, it's only a rumour at the moment but if Apple do allow folks to remove some pre-installed apps, I would be very happy.
There are a few apps I don't think have opened for years and years. The last time I opened the Stocks app was probably just after I got my first iPhone back in 2007. I honestly haven't opened it, except by accident, since then. Being able to remove it would be useful.
For those that say "just put them in a folder and forget about them", yes, I currently have a folder with all the apps I will never use in and whilst they are out of sight and therefore out of mind, I would prefer them to just not be there at all. I know a lot of others echo this sentiment too.
iOS 9 brings in a few more pre-installed apps like Find Friends, which I don't give a tinker's cuss about, nor Game Centre or the Tips app. Being able to remove them would be a useful feature.
My Samsung Note 3 had 32 apps I couldn't remove, including a number of apps that completely duplicated other pre-installed and irremovable apps. One of the many reasons why I left Android.
