Apple lets users delete inbuilt iPhone appsJune 14, 2016 - 11:57 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple will let its customers delete the set of apps that comes built into the phone, The Independent reported Monday, June 13. Until now, iPhones have come with a suite of apps that are stuck on the phone, and are impossible to delete. But now the company will let people remove those apps ― like Stocks or Compass ― freeing up space in the phone's storage and on the home screen. Apple boss Tim Cook had already indicated that the company would make the change, but said that work was needed because the apps are tied to other features and embedded deep in the operating system, The Independent said. Almost all of the stock apps are included, with some notable exceptions such as Phone and Messages. Apple advises that the apps have been designed to be space efficient, so that even deleting all of them will only free up about 150MB. The new feature is available in iOS 10, which was introduced at an event in California. It is available to developers now and will arrive to the public in the autumn.
