Deleting pre-installed apps on your Iphone may soon be possible

Many users of Apple's IOS devices have often considered deleting some unused app one time or another - but with no success as pre-installed apps cannot be deleted. This however may soon change as Apple's CEO Tim Cook during an interview stated that the Company is well aware of the plight of some of its customers. He further stated that the company will figure out ways to make this possible for its customers.

The CEO explained why wanting to delete pre-installed apps is a "more complex issue than it first appears." He said the underlying problem seems to be how apps interact with one another.

"There are some apps that are linked to something else on the iPhone. If they were to be removed they might cause issues elsewhere on the phone," said Cook.

We support his reasons - if a user were to tell Siri to show weather forecast without the weather app, where would that data come from? similarly where would a Mail hyperlink beam you to with no Safari app?

Cook admitted that "there are other apps that aren't like that" and hinted that Apple may find a way to remedy everyone's junk drawer pet peeve.

"It's not that we want to suck up your real estate," said Cook, "We're not motivated to do that. We want you to be happy."
