@ow leaked this on Twitter a minute ago. Here's a screenshot of the App Store page: Interesting to see Apple unbundling its pre-installed apps. It's not showing up in the App Store for me yet, but likely very soon. See more

@rrhoover @ow I hope they unbundle them all. Would be great to get a new iPhone and set it up clean from no apps.

@jmacias @rrhoover @ow Totally agree. The ecosystem of apps is big enough that third parties have definitely surpassed the quality of Apple's internal apps. They should focus on more on core design language. The current flat design needs to really go away.

@jmacias @rrhoover @ow Would be amazing to not have the iOS Mail app opening by default - and be able to choose a default browser!

@jmacias @rrhoover @ow I am not super positive about that, but at least they'll be able to release app-specific updates, instead of having to wait for the system update.

@siburb @jmacias @rrhoover @ow That sounds like something I've heard of... something like... Android?

@rrhoover unbundling would make a lot of sense. Hope they will do this with other apps too! Therefore, iOS Updates and general App Updates would be different and it would lead to faster App updates, features etc hopefully

@jmacias @rrhoover @ow I have to wonder if this could be similar to the court rulings in Europe about Google / Microsoft bundling too much of their ecosystem into their products. Either way its great news for consumers

@jmacias I doubt that's how it would be deployed. Even on Nexus, Google deploys the core apps as system apps so they come with the OS and can't be uninstalled. Like Google, the benefit lies in the ability for Apple to update core system apps without having to release a new iOS version.

@ryabrams I understand how it's used and why. I'm hoping this is a signal that that thinking is evolving.

@rrhoover I like how they're going the Android way - Custom keyboards, ability to uninstall default apps, OpenSource stuff, etc.

@rrhoover @ow my guess is it's a precautionary move to protect themselves from European antitrust issues.

@ninjinka @siburb @jmacias @rrhoover @ow which also comes with pre-installed apps. Actually, pre-installed crapware, the second you're not buying a Nexus. I use both iOS and Android, and they're both guilty of this crap.

@aloracpc @jmacias @rrhoover @ow They can’t actually be updated separately and they aren’t actually being removed. (According to Phil Schiller on The Talk Show, around 22:24: http://daringfireball.net/thetal...)
