- pat2man 11y agoA lot of people still go to say yahoo.com for their news. The default is good enough for them.
- Reedx 11y agoBut it's a default auto-installed app (on iOS9) and the headlines are on the search / Siri Suggestions screen. I'd be surprised if it doesn't already have a huge market...
- beedogs 11y agoIt doesn't. So very few of those auto-installed apps ever see any use. iTunes (or "Apple Music", or whatever it's called now) might be the only exception.
- kaolinite 11y agoMaybe for you (and me too) but for the general public, the default apps are used a hell of a lot. 50% of users use the default notes app[1], for example. Apple Maps (which based on the press, many might assume isn't used at all) has 3.5x the usage of Google Maps[1]. I don't know whether there are any other stats out there, but I suspect that for most people, there's no need to install a custom podcast app, for example, when the default one works just fine for them.

- rimantas 11y agoWith iOS9 notes become quite fun.
- eddieroger 11y agoMy Dad: "What's this 'News' app?" Me: "It's new with iOS 9. It's a little news reader. You tell it what you're interested in, and it'll show you articles." Dad: "Cool" <proceeds to spend an hour with it> You may be surprised.
