How would I delete a few Apple apps that I don't need and that are taking up a lot of needed room on my iPhone?
If you are referring to the Apps included with the iOS, you can't.

Yeah those are exactly what I'm referring to-apps like Health, Apple Watch,Tips, Podcasts.
I could see that I couldn't take care of it with the easy delete function, but I was hoping there was some Apple secret way to do it. Thanks...but too bad.
You're welcome. Sorry, there is no secret way. The best we can do is group all the unused Apps into a folder and move it to an unused screen. It doesn't free up any space, but you won't have to see the Apps.
Yeah, instead of a folder I just put them on their own page which I'll never scroll to. But still it's really frustrating!
Do you think if enough people complain to Apple about it they'll make a change or will it be like the usual Apple response-"We know what you want better than you"?

I'd bet on the latter, myself. However you should definitely submit your feedback to Apple:
For what it's worth, apps don't take up very much space.

Indeed; after installing 8.2 I had more free space than I had with 8.1.3, so clearly the Apple Watch app uses negative storage 😉
I'm sure that's the true, but it has more to , in my case, with housekeeping. Why have things around that you're not ever going to use? As you suggested in your previous communication I did make a complaint/suggestion to Apple noting that if there're people that need and/or want those apps and others that don't why not make them deletable and give the choice to the users?

But, very shortly, people will be asking how to delete the installed apps on the Apple Watch.
...and they might be right to do so!
A couple of the Apple apps were previously available for download from the App Store if the user desired to have them on their device...I believe those were Podcasts and iBooks. Apple has now embedded those apps within iOS (I believe it began with iOS 8.x)...you now cannot delete them and they're only updated when an iOS update is released. Seems Apple is going backwards in this regard. 😕
There's tons of things preinstalled that are difficult to near impossible to get rid of on my desktop OS yet you never hear of people complain of those things.
