Is Apple FINALLY going to let iPhone users delete its default apps from their home screens?

Apple may finally be planning to introduce the one thing customers have been asking for since the early days of the iPhone.

Hidden data in iTunes suggest that the next version of iOS could let people hide the apps that come pre-installed on iPhones and iPads.

These include Stocks, Game Center, Tips, Calendar, Videos, Voice Memos, Reminders, iBooks, Apple Watch, Notes, News and more.

Apple doesn't let users delete these apps, so most people end up creating a folder on their home screen to hide them away.
The code suggests that apps will be hidden rather than deleted. That means they will still take up space in your phone's storage - just not on your home screen.

Cook has previously said that allowing users to delete apps altogether could cause issues elsewhere on the phone, and render the devices unusable.
