If Apple did it you clowns would have a titty attack
When I had the iPhone 5 there were plenty of pre-installed Apple apps with no means to remove them. Want me to start naming them? Gamecenter, Newsstand, Stocks, Passbook, Facetime, Compass, Voice Memos, Reminders, Notes, Maps, Safari, Calculator, Weather, Calander, Nike+ iPod, Music, Videos, Camera, iTunes Store, Photos. We won't count App Store, Safari is the only real browser of choice so its forced on you but all those other apps even if you use third party alternatives or don't use them at all are still unable to be removed by normal means. I know because I ended up dumping most of them in a folder because they still took up homescreen space.

Why are people saying you can uninstall the apps?

Unless you root you probably won't be able to.
Yeah most likely these will be system apps and won't be able to be removed without root access. The best most will be able to do is disable them. It won't save space but it will hide them.

Complicated breh. It's easy to use. I admit there's a little bit of a learning curve but you'll love them as you incorporate the new features into your phone use. :comeon:

You can't compare because apple makes the hardware and software. Every hardware manufacture put stuff you can't delete off.
