#app deletion

In addition to its promise of “smaller, more convenient” software updates, Apple is said to be working on a nifty new feature that will allow the system to temporarily remove apps to make room for new updates, and automatically reinstall it after the update is done. The new feature, which is aptly called App Deletion, was discovered by one of the members of MacRumors forum. In the instance that the handset does not have enough storage to install the new software update, the system will prompt users about the ‘App Deletion’ feature and takes the guesswork of making room for the new update. This is well and good, but it’s not clear if the data on the apps that will be temporarily deleted will be restored once the software has ran its course. Apple has loosened its grip on retro console emulators within the App Store. The updated App Store guidelines now permit these long-banned emulators, allowing those already availeble to Android to make their way onto iPhones. The games themselves must comply with "all applicable laws," implying that apps offering pirated titles would be essentially banned from the marketplace. Apple's update extends beyond emulators.
