Cook says Apple is considering allowing iOS users to delete pre-installed apps

According to foreign media reports, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is ready to allow iOS users to delete some pre-installed apps, but other apps may have to be retained.

“It looks like a more complex issue than it initially was,” Cook told BuzzFeed News in an interview Wednesday while on his way to the Apple store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Cook was joined by Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Internet Software and Services.

Cook continued: "Some apps are tied to other things on the iPhone. If they're deleted, it could cause some issues on the phone. Other apps don't have that problem. So over time, I think we'll figure out how to fix that."

Cook added that the company is actively considering the issue, but he did not specify a specific timeline.

iOS has accumulated a large number of default pre-installed apps. Some apps, such as Maps, Weather, and Safari, are frequently used by users, but others, such as Tips, Stocks, Newsstand, and Apple Watch, are not useful to everyone, but they may take up a lot of memory and home page space. The home page space problem is slightly easier to solve, just put the infrequently used apps into a folder.

It’s unlikely that Apple will fix the problem before 2016. iOS 9 is set to be released on Wednesday, with iOS 9.1 scheduled for November, and there’s no sign that Apple will perfect the app-deleting feature in the current beta releases.
