Re: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Mary Otten
My guess is that health and home  can't be deleted because they're not just 
simple apps. If you can't deal with that by putting them on the last page of 
your device into a folder that you may name trash or whatever, I suggest you 
get an android and see if you like that any better. This is such a non-issue. 
Just move the damn things where you don't have to look at them and forget about 
it. Why is that hard?

Hi Mary,

Such bad words and on a Sunday… naughty, naughty *smile*.
Health can indeed not be deleted and so far I found that apps like Phone, 
Messages, Settings, Camera, Health, App Store, Photos/Videos and a few others 
can’t be deleted as they are pretty crutial to iOS core functionality.
Home, however, can be deleted, I just tested it since I didn’t have anything in 
it right now and it goes away.

Mary,

 

Yes, they seem to be so, but Apple Inc. needs to do something about this.  Not 
all want these or any of the “undeletable” apps.  I did tell the staff at Apple 
Accessibility on this one.  They fail to realize this.

 

Android is not accessible at all.  iPhone is the most accessible device so far. 
 I do not bother Android at all.

Sieghard,

 

The point here is that Apple Inc. cannot expect everyone or as many as possible 
to use all their apps like this.  They need to change for the better.

 

Sieghard, I have absolutely no use for Health and Home , but do not say they 
“cannot be” deleted.  It simply makes no sense.

 

Think twice.

 

Thanks.

mean that others don’t use them. Move them into a folder as I’ve done with the 
apps I don’t use. You can tell Apple accessibility all you want, but it doesn’t 
change the fact you are a single user and there are millions of others who make 
use of the apps you or I may not consider important or useful. Apple is far

John,

 

I said “cannot expect everyone…”, which is correct.

 

Moving apps to a folder is not the answer, either.  It eats up space!

 

Think again about it.

RE: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi John,

I usually move all the apps I don’t use or use extremely rarely to whatever the 
last home page is for me, in my case it is page 4. Now that so many apps can be 
deleted there are very few that go on that page. Stocks and iBooks are two 
examples, both can be deleted but I keep them just because occasionally a PDF 
needs to open in iBooks or I may in fact want to know how a particular stock is 
doing. This way they are out of the way where I never need to go which to me is 
even better than putting them into a folder which I then have on a home page I 
do use. I wouldn’t even call this bloatware, apart from essential apps there 
are only a few which can’t be deleted. Yes, Health is one of them, for me that 
is OK because I use it frequently and I’m pretty sure quite a few of us on this 
list do use it on a pretty regular bases as many of us have compatible devices 
like scales or blood pressure monitors etc. Anyhow, judging from the responses 
I have seen it would that only one person has a real issue with the fact that 
there are maybe 2 or 3 apps which can’t be deleted, as Christopher said, if we 
start getting into minor details like that .there must be very few major ones.

It's an opinion, and it may be your opinion, but it's not a truth. I 
find Android as accessible as Apple, and even though I still use an 
iPhone at the office, I've switched to using an Android phone for my own 
personal use.


Also, in your first message, you said that Android wasn't accessible at 
all, which isn't nearly the same thing as saying Android isn't as 
accessible as Apple, which is what you said in your second message.

It's not true that Android isn't accessible at all. You may think Apple is more 
accessible, but that's not the same thing as Android not being accessible at 
all.

I've always found the Apple apps I can't remove from my iPhone to be an 
annoyance and not a huge deal. If this is our biggest concern with Apple then 
they must be doing a great job with accessibility!

2016-11-20 Thread Mary Otten
You can get rid of a lot of the Apple stock apps, stocks being one. Like I 
said, my suspicion is that there is more complications surrounding things like 
the home app and the Health app. Imagine the Hugh and cry if somebody had other 
apps on their system that were using those and then stupidly deleted home or 
health. Oh boy. Apple would hear from those folks. And it would of course not 
be Apple's fault. But you just know there would be somebody or more than one 
somebody out there who would try it. Maybe just because they could. This is 
such a non-issue, Todd. Given the strides that Apple has made and letting you 
get rid of their other apps. If you really hate it that much, go try android. 
Then you will find that there are things that you can't delete from there 
either. So if you don't like it, at least you can stop talking about it on the 
list.

It's an opinion, and it may be your opinion, but it's not a truth. I find 
Android as accessible as Apple, and even though I still use an iPhone at the 
office, I've switched to using an Android phone for my own personal use.

Also, in your first message, you said that Android wasn't accessible at all, 
which isn't nearly the same thing as saying Android isn't as accessible as 
Apple, which is what you said in your second message.

You can get rid of a lot of the Apple stock apps, stocks being one. Like I 
said, my suspicion is that there is more complications surrounding things like 
the home app and the Health app. Imagine the Hugh and cry if somebody had other 
apps on their system that were using those and then stupidly deleted home or 
health. Oh boy. Apple would hear from those folks. And it would of course not 
be Apple's fault. But you just know there would be somebody or more than one 
somebody out there who would try it. Maybe just because they could. This is 
such a non-issue, Todd. Given the strides that Apple has made and letting you 
get rid of their other apps. If you really hate it that much, go try android. 
Then you will find that there are things that you can't delete from there 
either. So if you don't like it, at least you can stop talking about it on the 
list.

Re: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Have you personally tried both platforms? I don't have a problem with 
someone having an opinion and thinking IOS is more accessible than 
Android, but I think it's a disservice to blind people everywhere to 
state something as a fact that's only an opinion. this is especially 
true when it isn't based on personal experience but rather just hear 
say. There are definitely areas where IOS is more accessible than 
Android, but for how I use my phone, I find Android is just as 
accessible as Apple. IMHO, the question of whether one is more 
accessible than the other is more complicated than just stating it's a 
fact. It goes to how each person uses their phone and what each person 
finds to be important to them. This is why I like reviews from people 
who have used both platforms and I discourage people from listening to 
one line statements.


Besides, you've said both that Android isn't accessible at all and that 
it isn't as as accessible as IOS. These two statements aren't the same, 
so which are you saying is a simple fact?

Also, Health app does not show “activate” or “Arranging apps”.  What
kind of thing is that?



Use your common sense!



That is all I can say now.



Thanks,



Todd

A lot of that stuff that you don't like on that separate page was present, just 
in other places, like notifications. I don't use it much either. But I don't 
have to mess with it if I don't want to. You seem to think that they should do 
everything just because you wanted that way. That is a whole lot of entitlement 
coming for one guy.

Re: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread John Panarese
   Yes, I use Health every day. I am using “bloatware” as a relative term some 
designate  the apps they don’t consider to be useful to them. Personally, I 
consider very few apps on the iDevices as “useless”, but there are a few I wish 
could be deleted. I do like your solution, but I have gotten to the point in 
which I economize screen space by using folders. Since I can call upon SIRI to 
open them, it really doesn’t matter where I put them in the end.

I'm with you on the folder, John. I have apps I seldom use on my last page, 
along with a folder of apps I never use. Or maybe I used to use them, and then 
they became in accessible, and I keep them in case they become accessible 
again. So you have your almost never and you're never. And the never once go 
into a folder.

Hi Mary,

Such bad words and on a Sunday… naughty, naughty *smile*.
Health can indeed not be deleted and so far I found that apps like Phone, 
Messages, Settings, Camera, Health, App Store, Photos/Videos and a few others 
can’t be deleted as they are pretty crutial to iOS core functionality.
Home, however, can be deleted, I just tested it since I didn’t have anything in

Mary,

 

Wait a minute.

 

I never said I want them “all” gone.  I said that most of the apps like Home, 
Health, Stocks, and Entertainment are simply useless.

 

Therefore, you are missing something.  Yes, you have the wrong impression that 
I want them all gone.  Not true!

 

That is why I said Apple is really screwed up anyway.  They do not know what

A lot of that stuff that you don't like on that separate page was present, just 
in other places, like notifications. I don't use it much either. But I don't 
have to mess with it if I don't want to. You seem to think that they should do

Hi John,

 

I usually move all the apps I don’t use or use extremely rarely to whatever the 
last home page is for me, in my case it is page 4. Now that so many apps can be 
deleted there are very few that go on that page. Stocks and iBooks are two 
examples, both can be deleted but I keep them just because occasionally a PDF 
needs to open in iBooks or I may in fact want to know how a particular stock is 
doing. This way they are out of the way where I never need to go which to me is 
even better than putting them into a folder which I then have on a home page I 
do use. I wouldn’t even call this bloatware, apart from essential apps there 
are only a few which can’t be deleted. Yes, Health is one of them, for me that 
is OK because I use it frequently and I’m pretty sure quite a few of us on this 
list do use it on a pretty regular bases as many of us have compatible devices 
like scales or blood pressure monitors etc. Anyhow, judging from the responses 
I have seen it would that only one person has a real issue with the fact that 
there are maybe 2 or 3 apps which can’t be deleted, as Christopher said, if we 
start getting into minor details like that .there must be very few major ones. 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

   Again, Todd, because you or I might not have any use for them, it doesn’t 
mean that others don’t use them. Move them into a folder as I’ve done with the 
apps I don’t use. You can tell Apple accessibility all you want, but it doesn’t 
change the fact you are a single user and there are millions of others who make 
use of the apps you or I may not consider important or useful. Apple is far 
from the only company who unfortunately has what might be called bloatware on 
their systems. I agree with you that it would be nice to have the ability to 
delete some apps, but I also understand why this isn’t the case. Thus, again, 
that’s why you can create folders.

Re: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread John Panarese
Todd,
   You keep telling us to think twice? I think you are the one who needs to do 
this. Everyone is making the point that there are apps that are preferred and 
used, and to say Apple forces too many on their customers is, again, a very 
general and subjective statement based on your personal opinion. You keep 
saying not all the apps, yet you infer that there are more than enough that 
shouldn’t be on the devices at all. Yet, it has been repeatedly stated that 
many customers Want those apps present on their devices. So, how is Apple 
wrong? Most of them can be deleted in iOS 10, and those that cannot be removed 
can be conveniently placed elsewhere and don’t consume the kind of space on a 
device as probably was the case when we only had 8 and 16 GB models out there. 
I have 128 GB on my iPhone, so a few stock apps placed in folders is not using 
any real estate I’m personally worried about. At this point, I think a lot of 
people are only filling devices with video and audio far more than the 
applications.

RE: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Todd Patkus
John,

 

Who do you yourself think you yourself are?

 

Saying, Think twice is simply a habitual way to say.  You are not alone to whom 
I use to quote it.  Plus, I am not alone in quoting that;  Rich is another one.

 

I want you and the folks here to realize what was said stands correct.

 

I care less about music, videos, and some of the apps.  I have no interest in 
music.  Too much of music is enough.  That is why I said iTunes should be used 
in a more narrow way, not mixing it with apps where music is not mentioned.

 

That is simply ridiculous and should be changed for the better.

 

John, you have a lot yet to learn.

 

If you, John, or anyone do/does not like what I said, that is too bad for y’all.

 

This concludes.

 

Thanks.

 

Todd

Todd,

   You keep telling us to think twice? I think you are the one who needs to do 
this. Everyone is making the point that there are apps that are preferred and 
used, and to say Apple forces too many on their customers is, again, a very 
general and subjective statement based on your personal opinion. You keep 
saying not all the apps, yet you infer that there are more than enough that 
shouldn’t be on the devices at all. Yet, it has been repeatedly stated that 
many customers Want those apps present on their devices. So, how is Apple 
wrong? Most of them can be deleted in iOS 10, and those that cannot be removed 
can be conveniently placed elsewhere and don’t consume the kind of space on a 
device as probably was the case when we only had 8 and 16 GB models out there. 
I have 128 GB on my iPhone, so a few stock apps placed in folders is not using 
any real estate I’m personally worried about. At this point, I think a lot of 
people are only filling devices with video and audio far more than the 
applications.

Health might be useless to you. but I get gift cards from Amazon and iTunes for 
walking five miles a day thanks to the Health app. I use it to count my steps. 
Then I open my insurance app and the information from the health app is 
seamlessly transferred to the insurance app and when I get enough points I can 
cash in for as many gift cards as I can. I have already spent quite a few 
dollars at both Amazon and the App store over the past few years. I could save 
up for other purchases, even iPads and there are other stores as well such as 
Target. But these are the two I like to shop with.

Todd,

   You keep telling us to think twice? I think you are the one who needs to do 
this. Everyone is making the point that there are apps that are preferred and 
used, and to say Apple forces too many on their customers is, again, a very 
general and subjective statement based on your personal opinion. You keep 
saying not all the apps, yet you infer that there are more than enough that 
shouldn’t be on the devices at all. Yet, it has been repeatedly stated that 
many customers Want those apps present on their devices. So, how is Apple 
wrong? Most of them can be deleted in iOS 10, and those that cannot be removed 
can be conveniently placed elsewhere and don’t consume the kind of space on a 
device as probably was the case when we only had 8 and 16 GB models out there. 
I have 128 GB on my iPhone, so a few stock apps placed in folders is not using 
any real estate I’m personally worried about. At this point, I think a lot of 
people are only filling devices with video and audio far more than the 
applications.

Hi Christopher, Todd is Deaf Blind, so for him, Android is not at all viable. 
It's Braille support as publicly available is well below par.
I have learned the hard way that there is little sympathy on this list, or in 
the blind community as a whole it seems, for the needs of the Deaf Blind which 
is why I have mostly stopped posting here. But I did want to chime in and at 
least make this point.

2016-11-21 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Fair enough Jonathan, and I did think about that since I knew Todd was 
deaf blind. If he'd said Android wasn't an option for him because of 
it's inadequate braille support then I never would have said anything. 
Since he made a blanket statement though, I guess I jumped in when maybe 
the smarter thing would have been to let it go.


I think of myself as sympathetic to the deaf blind, but I admit, I don't 
often think of the challenges faced by the deaf blind. I'm also not sure 
that I agree with Todd that his deaf blindness explains away his 
rudeness on this list.

2016-11-21 Thread Mr. Ed
Hi Todd,

Why can’t you just move these app you don’t want into a folder and put them on 
the last page of apps. That is so simple to do and stop whining  like a spoiled 
brat that does not get his way. You need to grow up and just move the apps.

I know you are going to respond that you are not a spoiled little brat. So 
let’s hear you  whine again. 

One other reminder. I knew of another person on this list that kept whining 
about IOS all the time and he is no longer on this list. So grow up a little 
and get off your high horse and except the facts about IOS as they are. Not 
being perfect the way you want them. I am visually impaired and severely hard 
of hearing and I want to be an airline pilot or a brain surgeon. Do you want to 
be my first passenger or patient?  So realize everything in life is not going 
to be perfect for you.

Health can indeed not be deleted and so far I found that apps like Phone, 
Messages, Settings, Camera, Health, App Store, Photos/Videos and a few others 
can’t be deleted as they are pretty crutial to iOS core functionality.

Home, however, can be deleted, I just tested it since I didn’t have anything in 
it right now and it goes away.

Mary and Christopher, excellent posts. There was a time when none of the Apple

Re: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-21 Thread regina alvarado

Mr. Ed, I was not aware Todd was deaf/blind, but having read all of his posts 
it seems he is a tad nasty to people who he wishes to help him. I do not care 
if someone is deaf, blind, black, white, Asian, in a wheelchair, have a guide 
dog, an Indian-American or someone outside the country, U.S., there is no need 
to be nasty. There is far, far too much of that going around. It is time he try 
and make a point without attacking the very folks who are helping him. I have a 
hearing deficit also and frustration with some parts of iPhone, but I lived 
when there were no computers much less voice or braille displays. Talk about 
frustration. I had to use an Optacon to read my whole screen on my first 
computer at work. Couldn't even do that With just a typewriter. I do not know 
his age, but it does come across as a spoiled child. Jonathan is never nasty, 
and he has a worse hearing difficulty than me. Would Helen Keller be nasty? Me 
thinks not!!! (smiles and hugs)

Hi Reggie,
Todd is deaf blind and uses a Braille key board. So he cannot use the method

Someone on the list gave Todd the complete Braille instructions step by step

Yes, y’all need to understand that.  That is what Apple Inc. fails to realize.
 
Also, Health app does not show “activate” or “Arranging apps”.  What kind of

Use your common sense!
 
That is all I can say now.

2016-11-21 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Shaf,

I may not agree with Todd's attitude, but you still should be careful when you 
judge, you simply don't know somebody until you walked in their shoes.
I definitely also don't appreciate people calling others jerk no matter what, 
those who do that are no better and often worse than the person they are so 
quick to label with such words.
If I were moderator you would be off the list based on that statement.

Take care,
Sieghard

Hi Todd and all! How are you all? Hey Tod, I use and   my boyfriend use a focus 
14 blue display. Since my boyfriend is deafblind, he is able to delete the apps 
with it. And he is able to do a lot with it. And he is profoundly deaf and he 
is blind as well. maybe you should consider in getting the focus 14 blue 
display since I find a better display to work with. I use an iPhone 7. What 
kind of phone do you have? Just wondering. I loook forward in hearing form

Hello,
He's certainly older than me, knows Rich for 35 years, as we've 
been told about 10 times the last 7 days.  I didn't even exist 
back then myself.

From: regina alvarado Mr.  Ed, I was not aware Todd was deaf/blind, but having read all 
of his posts it seems he is a tad nasty to people who he wishes 
to help him.  I do not care if someone is deaf, blind, black, 
white, Asian, in a wheelchair, have a guide dog, an 
Indian-American or someone outside the country, U.S., there is no 
need to be nasty.  There is far, far too much of that going 
around.  It is time he try and make a point without attacking the 
very folks who are helping him.  I have a hearing deficit also 
and frustration with some parts of iPhone, but I lived when there 
were no computers much less voice or braille displays.  Talk 
about frustration.  I had to use an Optacon to read my whole 
screen on my first computer at work.  Couldn't even do that With 
just a typewriter.  I do not know his age, but it does come 
across as a spoiled child.  Jonathan is never nasty, and he has a 
worse hearing difficulty than me..  Would Helen Keller be nasty? 
Me thinks not!!! (smiles and hugs)

Hi Reggie,
Todd is deaf blind and uses a Braille key board.  So he cannot

Todd, I had home off my phone almost from the time I got it.  
Maybe you are using an earlier phone? I do not know why you are 
having so much trouble, but I am sorry it doesn't work for you.  
I had arrange apps, tapped on that, went to the activate choice, 
double tapped with one finger on that and I could delete 
completely just as any other IOS app or app I put on.  I am" 
using IOS 10.1.1 or the latest.

One person on this list claimed that Home app can be deleted, 
but, when I tried doing so, it will not.  It says "Your Homekit 
will not be deleted".  This really sucks.  I have absolutely no 
need for it.


Yes, y'all need to understand that.  That is what Apple Inc.  
fails to realize.


Also, Health app does not show "activate" or "Arranging 
apps".  What kind of thing is that?


Use your common sense!

That is all I can say now.

Thanks,

As I read this exchange it occurs to me that perhaps Todd may not be a native 
English speaker, so perhaps there may be a language barrier thus causing 
something to be lost in translation. I don't see this as a way to excuse nasty 
behavior, but, sometimes when words are not translated correctly it could lead 
to misunderstandings.

Please be careful.  You stated I am not an English native speaker.  This is
