How to delete unwanted apps on an iPad?
kreiley 9 weeks ago
I use an Android phone, and one of the first things I always do when I get a new one is root it and remove all of the "bloatware" that the manufacturer and/or carrier installs. I got an iPad recently, and I would like to get rid of the pre-installed apps I will never use. I assume I will need to jailbreak it, but what do I do after that?

Why would you bother? There is no "bloatware" on iOS. Apple does not allow anyone else to manufacture iOS devices, so you don't find the same junk you find on Android or PCs.
The apps in iOS are quite useful. At most you'd probably just want to ignore the ones you don't use. But keep them handy in case you change your mind.
I advise against jailbreaking, it can cause a lot of headaches.
