I personally can't believe how much time has been wasted on this topic.

Could be said about the entire forum I suppose.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

Why? The statement is correct.
The way I see some people coming here complaining about what the iPhone has that they don't like and/or what the iPhone doesn't have and they want is tantamount to going to McDonalds every day in hopes of getting a Whopper... Makes me smh in utter disbelief.
Samsung did not force the Gear manager app to be installed on every phone by default. I had to install it and was told I needed it when purchasing the watch at T-Mobile. I have respect for Samsung for not force installing the app.
so let me get this straight, Samsung forces a sea of bloatware on everyone, but gets respect from customers because they don't add a watch app to that infinitely long list of crap. Apple give away brand new music from one of the world's most famous artist for free and decides to release one additional app for the home screen, an app that does not in the slightest impact the performance of the device and that can be stowed away wherever the user wants, and they cop flak big time?
People are funny.
The difference is with Android, you can root and remove what you don't want. With Apple, you can jailbreak when there is a jailbreak but can't always remove what Apple forces on you.
You can even get rid of TouchWiz completely on Android.
If having those hidden apps on your device bothers you that much, it may be that the iPhone is not the phone for you. Again, it's a nit, IMO.

The U2 album was utter garbage. So let's not get that confused that with Apple altruism. There's a reason it was free. Bloat ware is bloat ware regardless of the os.

People love to b*tch for the sake of b*tching...bottom line. Apple could make an app that you can't delete off your device that gives you $1 free every day for use on the app store/iTunes store, and someone would complain about it because you can't delete it or that it wasn't $2 free.
Very true remember the 12 Days app and how people complained because they didn't get the Free stuff they wanted so Tim decided if you want to look a gift horse in the mouth he's not gonna offer it anymore
Love how the OP just fled the scene because he couldn't defend his position on this.
If people here are going to start threads then at least have the decency to stick around with the discussion instead of high tailing it out of town because you can't take the heat.
