Like I said before... #firstworldproblems. We need to get you a new issue to focus that passion on. I doubt anyone else would complain that their iPhone has a Phone app on it preinstalled.
My jeans have this little pocket to stash a comb, condom or whatever, but I don't use it. It adds additional bulk and sometimes I mistakenly put my hand in it.
I think I will complain to Levi's to make it optional...
Come on. Is it really THAT important? Just move it to a folder and move only that folder to the last springboard page. Problem solved.

Hey, didn't recognise you. Nice new avatar. Looks very friendly.
I wish there was a do not disturb on notification centre for iOS like there is on OSX.
The current DND is only any good for over night, if you actually use the phone or have the screen on the notifications still come through. Occasionally id like to turn everything except phone calls off whilst streaming things or for some other reason.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... but under the "Do Not Disturb" section of the Settings App, if you scroll down to the bottom, there's a section entitled "SILENCE"... I believe if you have "Always" checked, it will do precisely what you're hoping. Even if you're in an app (say, Netflix, for example), notifications will be silenced (i.e., not shown) while you're watching a video while "Do Not Disturb" is enabled...
I think it's funny that people are responding to this trolling post as though there was any level of sincerity involved with it... heh. Good job!
Yes, clearly nobody wants the Phone app, or iMessage, or Maps, or a web browser... hah
He can have 2 out of 10 on the wind up scale.. it was so obvious.. tut tut.. must try harder..
Was Apple actually able to bring back fullscreen ID? I know it's very difficult, computer science is needed also some magic has to be involved, but can we have Fullscreen ID back? Or Apple just used Fullscreen only in slides for iOS8, because their actual solution is not only useless but also ugly looking?
First world problems
1. What seems useless to you might be essential to others and worthy of a default app status.
2. Put them in a folder and banish that folder to the last springboard page. You never need to see them again in your life. It's not like they take up a lot of space anyway.
So make it an option. That's the way it is on Apple TV, after all.
And those who DO find this app essential are the ones who should really hate this. Now the Podcasts app can get updates only when the whole system is updated.
Individual App settings
Correct me if I'm completely wrong here, I haven't check individual app settings in awhile as they are mostly useless, until now.
The individual apps settings in the Settings App now contain links to the "Privacy" and "Notificaion Center" toggles for that specific app.

Actually, on the Apple TV, you can choose to "hide" or "show" apps. They're still there, taking up space on the Apple TV. Just like how, on an iPhone or iPad, you can choose to "hide" apps in a folder.
i dont feel bad for blocking ads like AT ALL and never will not use an adblocker. those ads r way too much "in your face" and annoying and thats me working in the seo online marketing adword business lol
You really wrote this much for my comment? Apple fans never cease to amaze. Did someone piss you off today? How the hell does Android and Windows have anything to do with podcasts. LOL
The Podcast app does suck. Out of all the Apple apps, its the most unreliable, lags, crashes, etc. If it works great for you, but it doesn't for me and apperently a lot of other people (iTunes reviews).
lol. chill man.
Sad they are, they read, get so offended, immediately get defensive and completely go blind to what is actually said lol.
Yeah I know. But hiding is still better than nothing.
I'm not saying it's a "big huge OMG" deal. It's just something that I'd like to be able to do.
My previous avatar was a 5C. Now it's finder...just because some people complained about the new icon.
Your post goes from higher cognitive function to lizard brain in no time flat. Can that be considered literary devolution? The bolded portion of your comment makes complete sense, and I agree with it. I think the OP may have been engaging in a little hyperbole. But who knows. Apparently, he touched a nerve b/c you just went off on a wild tangent. Breathe in.
You're wrong about Google and Android. Anyone can fork Android. Amazon did; along with others. IF a vendor decides to do so, it can't use Google Play Services. As for the non-removable apps by telecoms and manufacturers, yeah, they are the equivalent of Apple's stock apps. Neither can be removed but both can be removed from sight. Either in a folder in iOS or in the app drawer in Android. No biggie. The only appreciable difference is one I hope Apple adopts soon. The ability to choose default apps. That would rock. Breathe out.
finally! Fullscreen photos when somebody calling you! http://cl.ly/image/160J3N3Q361j
(its my friend on the photo - but very old and bad because of Apple..) - I had to cover it (very poorly, sorry
Praise the lord Jesus Christ Tim Cook !!! A feature that every 10$ phone since Nokia 3360 had , is back in it's full glory !!! (This be the ultimate reason of why I despise my iOS 7.1.1 iphone)
Please tell me it's not appear only with facetime, but with regular call also!
If this is true, tell me how is this sorcery done? Elaborate, please !
('cause, appearently, no one with ios 7.1 or 7.1.1. could make it be, except You)
It must be that the podcast app will have the tiny button that says "Buy" or "Subscribe for x.x $" in the corner. There is no other reasonable explanation.
Have you considered the possibility that whatever issues it has had will also be resolved?
I consider it with every update they make
And yet it still forgets my place when I return to a streamed episode (why download a podcast? let me stream!) and it still crashes every other day on an iPhone 5 and it still takes 2 or 3 tries to get visible search results and still doesn't have 15-second skip buttons in Control Center, only in app and on the lock screen. Miscellaneous bugs--sometimes different ones, but always bugs!
After iOS 8, I will select a 3rd-party podcast player. Whatever one best supports the new iOS 8 goodies. If Apple surprises me by removing that need, then great!
