It actually deletes the app and not hide the icon as per Apple (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204221):
"The apps built into iOS are designed to be very space efficient, so all of them together use less than 150MB. Removing built-in iOS apps doesn't free up storage space on your device."
So by deleting them you save 150 MB (wich is not only icons)
Did you even read the text you copied and pasted from Apple? The part I marked bold specifically states that removing built-in iOS apps doesn't free up storage space on your device.
Yes but I also red the article and also know the difference from REMOVING and HIDING, and the article clearly states REMOVING.... again no point to discuss it over...
To remove: to take away, withdraw, or eliminate:
To hide : to conceal from sight; prevent from being seen or discovered
The article is
"Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS device with iOS 10"

I'm not talking about removing or hiding. I'm talking about your claim that you can save 150MB by deleting them. This is blatantly false.
You can delete them, but according to Apple, in the text you copied and pasted(and apparently refuse to read) it states that removing the built in apps doesn't free up any space.
Smoothness of ios 8 was so great especially on 8.3. But it was missing features of ios 9 and 10.
Because the OS has changed a bit? Or because the device operates better/smoother than it did before? I've played with 10 at the Apple store, and while some things make it feel 'new' like the homescreen double tap replacing Slide to Unlock, widgets, and app changes like the Music app -- when I get used to it for a few minutes, it doesn't really feel that different at all.
I'm on a 6 and haven't upgraded yet. I'm not confident it will perform 100% the way it does on a 6S/7, and some of the app changes aren't great to me.
I've owned iPhone since the original iPhone, and I never fell for the "upgrade every year" nonsense.
I have a 5s and it's great. I ordered a 7+, finally. Every three years makes for a pleasant upgrade with a noticeable change from the old phone.
Not sure about the 6 (that's my wife's phone), but my 5s feels noticeably faster going from 9 to 10. Take the plunge!
Major reason to update for me was Watch OS 3 otherwhise I would have stayed with ios 9 (for swipe to unlock by itself).
Phone is still smooth but battery life has been awful since updating to 10 (and ordered a battery case just for that...it is that bad to me!!!!), and don't see nay major features I would want.... messages it is cool but meh...notificatin are ...well different but not better.
Now developers can really make a difference....but I think it 'll take time before all the "kits" get used in a useful way.
I don't know about that.. I mean you go to the store to redownload the app....if it was just a hide thing it would be under a sys preference... "unhide hidden app/s "

Thats not at all what Apple is saying. Read it again and separately.
You can REMOVE them from the HOME SCREEN"
the 2nd part is basically just to calm ur tits and not to worry about the default Apps cuz they r only 100mb anyway
Held out for a while, but just updated my iPhone 6 to 10.0.2 all the way from 9.0.1. On the whole, I'm happy with the update. Even the Music app, which is my most used app, feels fresh and performs smoothly. I hated the design upon first glance, but I let it go and decided to roll with it.
Phone overall performs nicely, smoothest experience since 8.4.1. Widgets are neat, I don't miss slide to unlock like I thought I would. I love that can interrupt app animations again, makes the whole experience feel snappier and more responsive.
Only complaint is the lack of artist images or album covers in the Music app on Artist view. I have like 75% microphones in my library that could use an artist or album cover again.
