Why can't we dump permanent apps we do not use off our iPhone's

While it might seem odd if not downright crazy to many iPhone users, but there are some apps I would dust as soon trash off my iPhone to gain the wasted space. It appears these are permanently hardwired in which seems like, at least to me that Apple is only trying to get us into more gigabytes phones where if we were allowed to have only those apps that make sense for the person, we might save space for what we really want available. Is there a way to dump the hardwired apps from our iPhones?

"Why?" is a question that only Apple could answer. And their answer would probably be similar to Samsung's, HTC's, LG's and all the other cell phone makers, none of whom let you do that. But, if any of them have made a statement, I've never seen it.
Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
And, no, there is no way to remove them that wouldn't void your warranty.
Note that most of those apps probably take up far less space than you think.

  • Why can't I put the app purchased on my iPad onto my iPhone?

    I purchased an app on my iPad.  (This was before I installed iCloud.)  I went onto iTunes to move it onto my iPhone, and I couldn't get it on my iPhone.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Please help!

    If you're browsing the App Store on your iOS device, it should only give you apps compatible with that particular device.
    If you're browsing it from iTunes on your computer, t's always a good idea to check if the app you're looking at is device-specific.
    Happy shopping!

  • Why can I hear text tone while talking and not a pause like Iphone 4s?

    Hi,
    I have my phone 6 text tone set to a song. Well, I was talking to my aunt and I received a text message but I could hear the ring tone in my ear. I have never had that problem with Iphone 4s. It was basically a general pause to tell me I had an incoming text. Anyone else having this problem? Please help. If I can figure this out I am taking the phone back.

    You can turn off sending pictures messages except as iMessages by going to Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and setting it to "Off".

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

    Please why can't I access the app store on my iPhone 5....it keep saying can't access.. I'm from Nigeria

    Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
    Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.

  • HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

    Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

    Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently,  and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
    It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

    Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

    Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

  • HT201272 Why can't I search any apps in the store?  I can only see the ones that the Genius thing recommends for me.  This is on my iPhone 4S .

    Why can't I search the App Store on my iPhone 4S?  All I can do is search the recommended ones from Genius.  What do I need to do?

    Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.
    Feel free to check up on the issue @ http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    This outage started @ 5am est (~10 hours ago).
    I'm disappointed in Apple's inability to do the smart thing, and post a notice in the header of the site, this is a user-wide issue, you don't just hide the fact it's happening behind a server status page.

  • What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

    So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

    You do NOT have enough space.  Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
    You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free

  • Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

    I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

  • Why can't i access my app store on my iPod?

    Why can't i access my app store on my ipod 4th generation? I click on it and it won't let me access my app, itunes, or any app like social media apps with internet, but I can still access my games that have internet. It confuses me and i dont know what to? I found it didnt work because i wanted to get a game one day that i saw people playing thought it was cool, and wanted to get it. It didnt work and said cannot connect to iTunes store. So i thought i was because i was at school and my school has a filter and it has been blocking alot since its really close to the end of the year, but when i went home and tried to get into it. It still didnt work. So if anyone knows how to help can you please help. Thank you .

    Try this:
    Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button, hold an app icon until it wiggles, tap for each open app, double tap the Home button again
    then
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

    - Try another payment method.
    - Contact iTunes
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
