I'm gonna beat the same drum most people beat here, you know it's dystopian when you need the manufacturer's permission to be "let" delete something from your device. This criticism equally applies to Android devices with locked bootloaders.

Apple products feel like you have an IT department preinstalled on your devices.

How do you get the App Store back after it’s deleted?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Apps that are removed, such as the ‌App Store‌, can be re-downloaded using an "App Installation" section in the Settings app.

Settings app.

What if I delete the settings app?

Install it from the settings app. Read the comment bro!

It will be interesting to see what the fanboys and the apologists say to this. What is truly sad, is that it is only the people in the european union that get to do this. The rest of the world is locked under apple's tight grip, with its dirty nails digging into us.

When perfection is achieved and there is nothing left to uninstall, you can uninstall uninstall.
