Apple has announced iOS 10 at WWDC 2016 that brought new stuff for all of Apple’s platforms. Many new features are coming to them. Although many things were announced there but this was one feature that was not explicitly mentioned during the keynote Now you can uninstall many of core applications from your iPhone.
