Apple is considering allowing users to remove certain apps that come - and stay - pre-installed with iOS.<br />Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is "looking at" ways to allow people to remove some of the apps that come on iPhones and iPads, he told BuzzFeed.<br />"This is a more complex issue than it first appears," he said.<br />"There are some apps that are linked to something else on the iPhone.<br />If they were to be removed they might cause issues elsewhere on the phone.<br />There are other apps that aren't like that.<br />So over time, I think with the ones that aren't like that, we'll figure out a way for you to remove them.<br />Cook appears to make a distinction between core iOS apps - like Mail, Safari, Camera and the App Store - and ones like Compass, Stocks and Tips, which don't play a significant role in iOS as a whole and don't have much of an impact other apps.
