How do I delete apps such as ibooks that came with ios8? There is no "x" using the usual method. Thanks.
You can't, in iOS 8 they are built-in apps - you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Thanks. Apple has gone down many notches in my book for this behavior.
In order to download ios8 I had to remove some apps and stored music to gain enough space. After downloading the ios8 I find that I have automatically received several apps - FOR WHICH I HAVE NO CHOICE - that take up storage space, thus limiting what I can choose to have on my iphone 5s. This is far too "big brother" for me and will certainly make me consider a different phone when I need to replace this one.
Shame on Apple.
I went to that site and filled out the form but couldn't find any submit button guaranteeing that Apple won't receive feedback. Down another several notches.
What browser were you using to go to the feedback site ? I've recently seen a post about it not showing on chrome - on Safari at the bottom of the page I see :

I also want to delete the health app. I can't even hide it. I don't want it on my phone. This is an absolute disgrace - no company should dictate anything about health to a consumer. Make it available, but don't bake it in. An absolute disgrace.
Move it into a folder on the last page of your apps. That's what I did with News Stand.
Thanks - I did that, but it still takes memory and that is my biggest gripe.
The health app on my device takes up 625 mb of space (I am currently storing or recording steps, distance and flights). If you are not using the application - the amount of space lost is minimal. The space that iBooks (unused) would occupy is probably that amount or less. If you are that tight on space, you may want to think about upgrading to another phone with more onboard storage. My opinion.
Yep - I hear all of that, but it does take space. We have chosen a lifestyle that eschews "upgrading" because we simply are not consumers.
My point is that I had to get rid of some things that I wanted to make space for these obligatory apps and I object to that as a business strategy. My opinion.
I fully understand, and I agree with your statement that we should be allowed to control what is on our devices, especially when the space contained therein is limited. Personally, I think that they should have dumped the 16gb versions, and started with the 32 GB versions of the 6&6plus as the base model.
Maybe some feedback regarding the possibility of removing stock apps that are not desired would sway their opinions, and maybe in a future update some of the stock apps can be removed.

I completely agree that I want the phone with only the apps I want, not the bloat that the design gurus at apple think I cannot live without.
I have just left feedback... Thanks to those of you who pointed that out.
Well written.
I totally agree with you slcutah and although I can see that other correspondents on your subject are trying to help,
to be told that you cannot remove apps that are really tied in to Apple sales potential and not the operating system leaves me
feeling not only infuriated but maddened.
I am an iPad user with 16gb storage , a lot of which is tied up by Apple system.Apple has a duty to supply products that work economically
and not install apps that steal that valuable space I have worked hard to afford.
I totally agree! If anyone finds a solution, please let us all know, thanks!
