You can't delete Wallet

There are some apps like the Tips app that are just not necessary for some people. So I applaud them.
Got a tip for us?

Oh please.. people are going to have more issues with the fact they removed slide to unlock than this.
Why should I need the watch app on my phone? I NEVER use it and never plan to get a watch.

So what you're saying is you can still make facetime video calls with just the phone app?
Phone, Messages, Safari, Settings, App Store, Wallet, Photos, Clock, Camera, News and Health CANNOT be removed.
Alright so I have this situation here, and I want to know what you think. I was on this business trip 2013. Had to fly to china, and connected via Dubai.
I made the mistake of buying an iPhone 5s in Airport shopping, and later realized middle east iPhones don't allow FaceTime, and the app disappears completely when I use my T-mobile SIM.
Do you think that will change with iOS 10? It worries me that FaceTime functionality appears to be baked right in, like you're telling me. :|
Given that someone said that this just 'hides' them (ie, they're not really off the phone, just removed from screen), I'm not really worried about it tbh. Sticking them in a folder accomplishes the same thing without me needing to go to the App Store to find them again.
So how are you going to update your apps?

Well, I have "automatic updates" turned on. So, I don't really need to go into App Store to update them, they'll just update by themselves. Seems logical to me.
Since they're just hidden I have a feeling we're not going to get individual app updates. It'll stay as overall OS updates.
That's not quite the case. They aren't just "hidden".
No. You can uninstall these apps, as documented by Apple.
The apps not in that list are not removable.
None of the apps are removable. Apple only made it look like they are, but they are not. All that happens is the icons gets removed from the grid.
None. I have plenty of free space and the apps don't do anything in the background unlike android.
Just a quick question then I'll post what I plan to delete, can and if so how do you restore the stock apps without restoring the device?
iTunes Store -> Apple Music
Videos -> I have an iPad for that
Contacts -> Phone
Voice Memos -> Notes
Podcasts -> Youtube
FaceTime -> big fat NOPE!
Tips -> unless it starts giving me tips I can report on my taxes.
Home -> because I live in a dumb home like the other 99%.
I do use the compass as a level for home improvement although I had to use it again after I upgraded from my 5s because everything was at a 2 degree slant.
I use stocks to keep an eye on my investments, it's a nice 30,000 foot overview of my portfolio.
Find iPhone comes in handy when you are married. Find Friends might go, undecided because there are occasions where I use it to meet up with people.

Let us know if they update. That's an app store option, so if it updates without it that is cool.
As of now, deleting them just seems to hide the apps for now. But messages warning of broken functionally warn that they will be fully removed or at least fully disabled in future updates. Also, this is Apple and what we're allowed to remove now vs what we'll be allowed tor remove at release will change.
I have to believe default application choices are coming with the full release of iOS 10 because of the nature of some of these removal dialogues and the apps they all you to delete. It will likely be tied into Siri, ask Siri to email someone but you don't have the Mail application installed, it will ask you to choose from the Mail apps with Siri SDK support.
