Apple's starting to get more and more into this. Safari pesters you and nobody wants NEWS/Stocks/AppleTv App, Weather, etc. But you can't uninstall them :(
I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.
Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?
MacOS not iPhone. Should have specified
No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.
That’s what sudo rm -rf is for 😇. I’m going to try this on my Mac to satisfy my curiosity! Will report back.
If only it were that easy. You have to disable SIP basically permanently if you want to do that and I'm not confident enough to do that quite yet, much as I do love to live dangerously. Maybe someone who understands this all better might chime in on the tradeoffs or risks/benefits.
I’m kinda shocked that it didn’t work (tried it)! From what I’ve come to understand, the system won’t boot after removing a stock app since the checksum of the system partition changes. Whilst I’m in favour of keeping the OS healthy that way, some of the stock apps should definitely not have been included in that partition. However, today I learned!
Yes but you can bury a "CrApple" folder on the last page
I can always count on at least one idiot to mention Apple in a Microsoft hate thread.
I think you should go back to Reddit if you want to engage with people like that just crazy right out of the gate
Ew, a gatekeeper.
Weren't you just gatekeeping Microsoft-hate-threads?
Nope.
I pointed out the reliability of such a response.
Big difference between pointing out something vs demanding it stop.
You can do all of that without being an asshole
If calling someone an idiot on the internet is your bar for being an asshole. You're in for a hell of a ride.
Oh okay! just the... reliability... of a... demand? a demand which... starts with "I think"?

Well good thing your pointing is so reliable!
Thanks.
