TThere are many forms of marketing and simply putting an app on a phone is a type of marketing.

Then it is true. You are that clueless. Amazing.

So you're trlling me  doesn't allow users to hide stock apps? Here's a list of stpick iOS apps you can hide using restrictions safari, camera, FaceTime, iTunes store, and podcasts. If you didn't know you could hide these stock iOS apps well now you know. I'm sure  watch will be in there soon.

Here's a list of stock apps that you CANNOT hide:

• Weather
• Game Center
• Stocks
• Voice Memos
• iBooks
• Music
• Contacts
• Calendars
• Messages
• Photos
• Maps
• Clock
• Reminders
• Compass
• Calculator
• Phone

I wonder what the difference is? Of course! You can hide apps for privacy and parental controls purposes. I doubt very much that the  Watch would qualify under the privacy standard.

A way to hide it has already been posted. Which doesn't satisfy the original request, which was to remove it, not to hide it.

Clearly you do not understand business and marketing.

More than you do, evidently.

So I open the app to find this. I believe this is marketing at its best.

Well I guess in your case that means they HAVE A SALE, since evidently you can't resist the MARKETING. Most of us, however, can 😁

The central purpose of the app is not marketing, it is to provide connectivity to the watch and a means of accessing configuration and app/app store access since neither will be practical on the small watch interface. The level of connectivity required for this pairing is above what a normal bluetooth connection can provide in terms of function and security. It isn't going to go away when enough customers buy watches, nor is the app interface itself taking any more storage on the phone since regardless of there being an individual app or not, the functionality would still be there.

On this, and numerous other threads, the best action to to take if you are not interested in the watch has already been provided (ad naseum). There is no other solution, and the odds of Apple removing it due to threads like this is pretty much zero. Do yourself a favor and get on with your life.

No, that would be a poor way of marketing. All they did was add an icon that takes to to the Apple website to learn about the watch if you are interested. Normally Apple would have released 8.2 the same day as the watch was available, April 24th, and there wouldn't have been a few people here claiming it is a marketing app.

I concurrent especially if everyone did as I did and placed it into the folder I have that is labeled Worthless where I have all of the other apps that Apple has seen fit to add to iOS. I mean I placed it into that folder so fast I did not even see any of the app at all besides its name. Poor marketing at it best at least for me.

But it wasn't intended as a marketing app. For those who are interested it was a convenient link. For those who aren't no one made them click on that icon. Perhaps your folder would be more accurate if it was titled "Worthless to Me".

So what, if you don't like marketing you're on the wrong planet.

I am not bothered by the marketing.
