-> Keep in mind that some built-in Apple apps can't be deleted from your device, so you might not see the option to delete an app. Here’s a list of built-in Apple apps you can delete from your device. If you can't delete an app that's not made by Apple, disable parental controls, then try deleting the app again.

Yes, -> With iOS 14, instead of deleting apps, you can remove apps from your Home Screen, so that they appear only in your App Library. Learn more about using the App Library.

i did an upgrade and i guess my pc had a demo mode upgrade or somthimg

That seems impossible.


A Demo iPhone is a Property of Apple.

This iPhone cannot be used and is not for sale.

Return it to a nearby Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller in your region 

Demo iPhones are sold on the black market, obtained when breaking into an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller.

If you have bought it from some one, ask you money back.
