"iOS bundled apps" might be a better title for this edit

When I first saw this ("Bundled applications" linked to this from Template:iOS), I thought it might refer to applications that display stock or stock index prices, such as Stocks, so I came here to check whether it was that or was for bundled apps.

Perhaps "iOS bundled apps" would be a better title. The Lexico US dictionary entry for "stock" and the Lexico UK dictionary entry for "stock" have, as meanings for "stock" as an adjective:

  • (of a product or type of product) usually kept in stock and thus regularly available for sale;
  • (of a phrase or expression) so regularly used as to be automatic or hackneyed;

with the second entry having sub-definitions of

  • denoting a conventional character type or situation that recurs in a particular genre of literature, theater, or film;
  • denoting or relating to cinematic footage that can be regularly used in different productions, typically that of outdoor scenes used to add realism to a production shot in an indoor set.

The first of those is probably the closest to what's used here, although I'm not sure how commonly recognized that would be.

"Bundle", as a verb, however, is shown in both dictionaries as "Sell (different items, typically of hardware or software) together as a package.", which is exactly what's meant here. Guy Harris (talk) 21:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Pre-installed iOS apps" works fine, too. Guy Harris (talk) 08:48, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote edit

The iWork apps of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are built-in but they aren’t in this page. WikiMakersOfOurTime (talk) 20:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Is clips missing? edit

IIRC Clips is a pre installed ios application, yet there is no mention of it on the entire page. -1ctinus📝🗨 00:11, 1 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
