Typical apple response. but that's exactly what I am doing I am sick of the crappy walled garden tactics of apple. I like it here because MOST, but not all are not rabid fan&@*'s. You can have a discussion most times without the "But' it's apple it's the best" comments. The alternative sections in the forums here are great and active. I love all tech but I am not a blind follower. I am not one of those if apple does it it's the best and everything else is garbage and apple does no wrong types. Imore has 90% of those types. it's only 20% those types here fortunately. I have found a couple of them though.
EDIT: why should I have to put them in a folder. Apple should offer them on the app store so I can clean out the garbage I don't want on MY phone. It's not their phone. It they gave it to me, sure. I would expect that. I paid 900 bucks for it and I should be able to remove any app besides the apple app store. I agree with that one should NOT be removable.

AT&T was a breakthrough innovator…Lucent labs (albeit found to be monopolistic). The telco companies are none of that and the US does not lead the world in quality or price with cell service.
Ahhh. Gotcha. We have quality up here, but it comes at a great cost. Our 20gb shared plan is 220 bucks a month. And that's on an Employee plan from my wife who works in healthcare. The regular plan is 30 percent higher. We are getting gouged up here royally. At this point, I would gladly pay 200 bucks a month for unlimited highspeed useage as I would get a hub with a sim card and ditch my ISP all together then. But that will never happen here.
Nothing typical about it, trying to change or fix something that isn't broken is stupid, if people are sick of the beautiful walled garden ???? then leave, android is over there. ??♂️Typical apple response. but that's exactly what I am doing I am sick of the crappy walled garden tactics of apple.

All these people complaining about apple walled garden, they ain't forcing you to stay.
Nope, they are not. Thats why I am gone. But it's only because of trivial things that apple could do, keep all their greedly little money they do desperately want and keep most defectors happy. Theming, removable of core apps (not the store), and open up iOS a little to other platforms like windows "your phone" and wearables. Not everyone uses a mac but has iOS devices. Not everyone wants a square fragile little watch, but most have iOS devices. If apple did these few little things, I would be staying. OH, and FIX THE FRIGGIN BUGS IN IOS.
I think they need to add an option when purchasing devices. “Check this box to include/exclude all stock apps except the App Store” (which is always required). Upon completing Setup Assistant, all the stock apps would automatically be installed if requested during purchase, otherwise only the App Store would appear. If you are familiar with DEP enrollment, you know that the framework for this already exists.
They could also do a splash screen advertising the stock apps in the App Store like they did with the free iWork apps years ago.

On the Mac side, neither the Stocks app nor the Voice Memos app nor the Home app nor the News app nor the TV app nor the FaceTime app nor the Messages app “make my computer work” (as far as I can see), yet mysteriously I cannot delete them.
This is one of those things that I think humanity will never quite solve. One cannot deny the benefits of scale that helps massive corporations to innovate better. Also, one cannot deny government's inherent inefficiencies and corruption (corruption fueled by corporations most times). At the same time, corporations will exploit people out of greed and introduce massive entry barriers for new competition. And government can introduce laws and regulations for public good, to rein that greed in assuming we have elected educated, well-meaning, ethical people in the government. But the assumptions there rarely play out and policies usually end up have effects no one has thought of.
That said, I can't imagine Tim Cook would call Nancy Pelosi to issue a threat. Things are obviously a lot more subtly done. They surely meet up for lunches and dinners and all where a word could be had in "mutual interest".

Indeed, this is a balance that's notoriously difficult to strike.
Buggy? 🤔 ran the whole iOS 14 PB last year and currently on 14.7, running smoother than @Pearslikethefruit on date night.

Apple Says Allowing Sideloading on iPhone Would Expose Users to Serious Privacy and Security Risks
Amid the ongoing controversy over its tight control of app distribution on iOS, Apple today laid out its case arguing that allowing apps to be...

Another clickbait so called expert youtuber flog ?♂️
Nothing is going to change, iPhone is staying just how it is. ? only one other option for people who don’t like it. ??
Sure, just dislike Any YouTuber. It’s fine.
I like to use apple products and I enjoy the overall experience. But I also support regulation limiting big tech companies so they won’t grow out of control and become much more powerful than government itself.
Don't worry. Amazon is in the game as well, and they will be hugely affected since the regulations will prohibit them from selling the Amazon basics products. This won't pass.
Did anyone else scan the first half of the headline
Tim Cook Reportedly Called Nancy Pelosi and Other Members of Congress…
and expect some unflattering remarks from a leaked discussion? ?
exactly this. Apple is getting close to that point.
Must be nice to have a politician on speed dial

Government should be an enabler not a disabler. I don’t support such legislation.
press and hold the app the select remove app - you can even remove the phone app but I guess it would be called an iPhone anymore
