And once again you prove your complete ignorance of Apple products. Apple’s Compass App is not a mere compass. It includes a very accurate directional compass, but also includes an accurate to one meter altimeter, a GPS providing Earth Coordinates to 1/100 seconds of accuracy, and a double cross hair level. I have, in fact, found the Compass App useful at least once or twice a week. YOU are the one full of crap.
The included Apple Apps are not bloat because they provide useful functionality. If you find you have a need for a function on your device and do not have it and have to go looking for it when you have no connection to the internet to find a suitable app, your device is not useful. Apple provides fully functional, well designed, well coordinated, and well integrated Apps that ARE useful when you need them, not later, that do not cost anything extra that are there when you need them. These apps provide on-call functionality integrated in the device. That is not “bloat.” It’s a Swiss Army Knife approach to the device, providing tools to accomplish tasks that may be need to be done.
Bloat is limited-trial function, shareware, sample-ware, adware, pre-installed social apps, subscription or lease-ware for any functionality at all, and case stickers advertising installed hardware, etc.
WHO CARES. You’re not using that once a week. You’re a liar. Nobody needs those features once a week. Especially not somebody who spends all their time trolling the internet defending a crap company with lies and ad hominems.
It is bloatware. 45 apps is more than I got from Google and TMobile and LG combined. If you idiot cultists can say those apps are bloat I can point to the 45 bloats from Apple and call them bloat.
Face it, you’re just a pathetic loser that can’t accept the company you pointlessly worship is fallible. You lie, you declare everything FUD, you insist there’s some leftist conspiracy. Really, you’re beneath contempt.
OK, this is. I got better things to do with my life than read your stupid crap. Have the last word, Buh bye wanker
