@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.
@rrhoover@ow I hope they unbundle them all. Would be great to get a new iPhone and set it up clean from no apps.
Report
@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.
I think they are going to pre-install the app, but give users an option to uninstall it. The store listing will allow users who deleted the app to re-install it.

The benefit to this is that they can also update these apps without a full iOS update.
I deleted it while on iOS 10. I can't change my default mail client, so now when ever I click on a email it take me to the App Store to download Mail again. Seams like it is still making me have the app to use my email throughout iOS. :(
I used to use the Mailbox from Dropbox, since the removal of the app Mail app is my go to place for anything, the only thing I miss is push notifications from GMail otherwise I think it's the best app out there. It only does what it's supposed to do.

@zohaibility and Google probably won't re-enable push-notificatio for iPhone any time soon! How about Inbox by Gmail?
