See all sorts.of weird shit adding and removing features and apps with updates on those useless apple machines at work. |

If someone already had the application installed on their device, they still have it. UNLESS they’ve enabled “offload unused apps” AND it went unused long enough to be offloaded, which would require a re-install from the App Store. |

If Apple wanted control to remove an app from your phone would they then give you a way to prevent them from doing it? |

View Quote Yes, those are the parental controls. Congratulations. Again I ask you to THINK. If the coders of Apple wanted to delete apps from users phones would they then give owners of Apple phones the ability to prevent that? |

But he sure found out the hard way

Yeah, it's not like Apple has a history of removing apps that they can't control.

Yes, even if you paid for them, and you would no longer be able to download them. As I recall they stopped doing this some years ago. Doesn't mean they couldn't start doing it again though if they had enough motivation. |

View Quote This has never been true. If you 1. purchase some content or app and 2. Download it (not just stream) and 3. ensure that you KEEP it downloaded to your phone, you still have it. Some people misunderstood what they were doing when switching to apple music or its predecessor. Or they only ever streamed their music (never downloaded the file). Things like that. But Apple has NEVER deleted media (music files, video files, applications) from the end user's device. |

View Quote What you are describing is Apple has at the request of the artist or developers request removed items from the stores. This will make them unavailable to redownload. This is not the same as reaching inside someone's device and removing content. Apple has not nor would ever write in such a capability. It goes against everything the company believes in. |

Beyond that, I'm pretty sure the rest of what you posted has never happened. |

They "put u2" on everyone's account. as in "your account purchased this music for zero dollars." If you had your iDevice set to automatically download purchases, it downloaded your 'purchased' music.
