You can delete almost all apps on iOS except the obviously core apps that are necessary for it to function.

Thanks to the EU! They really fixed a lot of things about the iPhone, a shame not every fix went everywhere like core app removals did though.

You can now. You couldn't do this in the early versions of iOS.

    On early versions of Android, you had to give an application every permission it wanted, or you couldn't install it at all.

    You can. I’ve removed Apple Music and Apple Maps (seriously, who uses that?) but apple makes extra sure most things are more annoying to use without maps. Calendar app with an address? Default to opening in Apple Maps which is missing so error message (twice). Find my? Also open in apple maps with missing app error message. Even with Google Maps set as default systemwide.

    > even iPhones came (and still comes) with a ton of apps you cannot remove regardless of how little you use them

    You see, the user you replied to spoke in the present tense, and is addressing the “(and still comes with)” portion of the original comment.
