In the second sentence, "compliment" should be "complement".

True, and I can't compliment Leah on this article. I bought the iPhone for the Apple apps. Why would I want to get rid of them? Sounds like she really wants some Android phone.

Looks like Apple got into the article. Can't read past the introduction...

I was going to read this but I can't stand when an article like this is broken into 8 pages instead of just putting it all on one page. Do you really need page clicks that bad? This isn't MSN.com.

You're not truly replacing your Apple apps because theory are the defaults for operations that involve them. So every third party app requires extra action.

Sorry Apple. I thought it was a slideshow, but it's a "slidearticleshow".

This is an unfortunate practice designed to get more page hits. Given the premise of the article and the value of the first page, I see no reason to go on to page 2. Then again, a MW editor has claimed my view is cynical. I'm sure the party line is to suggest we actually like this practice. :)

I'm sure it is haha. Such an annoying internet trend and it seems to be spreading.

This article is misleading. You are not "taking Apple out" because you can't delete those Apple apps. You are adding to your phone.

This is one reason why I no longer have an iPhone. Apple prohibits you from deleting its apps, which means i

Been reading Macworld for a long long time, but I find myself coming to this site less and less. To each his own, but I just do not care for the redesign. More than that, I do not care for many of the recent articles nor the defensive editor reaction to reader comments.

I agree 100%. I don't like flipping pages. The internet is not a book.
