People picking up a 64 or 128GB iPhone 6/6 Plus later this week will find several of Apple’s iLife and iWork apps pre-installed, a leaked internal Apple training document reveals. The company specifically lists iMovie, GarageBand, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and iTunes U. “These apps are also available as a free download from the App Store for the 16GB models,” Apple writes.
The decision may prove controversial, since while users will likely be able to delete the apps if necessary, they will consume gigabytes of extra space until then. Apple has run into similar flak with its U2 album giveaway; it pushed the album to iTunes accounts without asking, potentially causing problems for people with devices set to download purchases automatically.
