How do I delete passbook from iPhone 5

I am infuriated that Apple would put baked-in apps such as passbook on my phone and force me to keep them there. I was already frustrated about that when I opened passbook to find that it isn't even installed and I can't use it until I go to the App Store and spend my time installing it. What?!? So I have an App that a) I don't want b) I can't delete and c) I have to spend time on it before I can even test drive it?? I think if Apple wants to bake in Apps and generate millions of dollars for third party companies, fine, but at least allow me to delete them if I don't want them. I never use passbook (mostly out of principal), newsstand or reminders. Apple needs to have more respect for their customers and stop insulting us with force fed Apps from whichever software company was as to get into bed with them.

You either bought the phone knowing it was like that or you didn't do research before buying it. If you have an iPhone 5 you should be within your return period, if it upsets you that much take it back and get something you'll be happier with. Just a word of warning, most manufacturers and carriers include lots of bloatware, far far more than Apple.

As already said, you cannot delete the Passbook app, but it may help many of you to understand what Passsbook is and how it works because not one description here was really accurate. You may even find it useful at some point.


It does NOT operate on it's own, it's a central repository of boarding passes, event tickets and a number of other like data that Apple makes available to developers and others. You can read more here.


And from experience, I can tell you it does work in countries other than the US.
