A:Answer Not sure on exact number, but it’s not an oppressive amount. And you can delete more of the preinstalled apps than you think you can. I deleted a lot, but have had to add some back in because they were tied to another app or were required in order to accomplish some tasks. Example: I use the Outlook app for email. I deleted the preinstalled Mail app. I had to reinstall as it is Apple’s default mail app used automatically whenever you email from a site or from inside an app. There is some integration that becomes obvious only with trial and error
