Apple “to fix the iPhone's most frustrating feature”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Anyone who's ever owned an iPhone will know the frustrations of being forced to live with a bunch of apps you don't want. Well, your days of scurrying this smartphone filler away could soon be over, Digital Spy said.

Eagle-eyed developers have spotted some new code that's recently started popping up in Apple's iTunes metadata that suggests we could soon all be able to do away with these unwanted features, Digital Spy said.

"Apple has added two new keys labelled 'isFirstParty' and 'isFirstPartyHideableApp' in iTunes metadata," the App Advice report states.

"These two new values started showing up a few weeks ago on every app in the App Store."

While it suggests we could soon be able to free our handsets of some of Apple's pre-installed apps, the non-hideable option suggests not all apps will be cullable.

Apple his yet to comment on the claims the long-coveted feature could be added in the heavily rumoured iOS 10 release.
