When it comes to tech coverage, Forbes is generally a pretty mixed bag. The site publishes content from a huge number of contributors, some of whom know their stuff, and some of whom are great for some comic relief and little else.
On Wednesday morning, I read a post on Forbes that fell into the former category. It was a nice quick post about Android bloatware, and it explained why future Android devices may have less of it. The post was well written, made a few good points, and offered a good quote from a VP of engineering at Google for support.
That would be stupid. These are core apps that Apple deems essential to the iOS experience, not a bunch of third-party apps clogging up my iPhone because Apple cut a deal with some mobile gaming company or a navigation app maker.
So, Forbes social media editor, you’re correct that Android is not the only mobile OS with bloatware. But to suggest that iOS ships with bloatware is just nonsense.
