Does any one know any apps that they will remove?

I can't believe, and everybody thought Apple was such a good company.

I can't believe, and everybody thought Apple was such a good company.Apple is all about control of its users. This is nothing new. This is one more way is all.

No one can pinpoint an app that has been removed yet (not that you would know other than it doesn't exist on your phone anymore), but what is ticking people off is this built in capability.
