iPhone pre-installed apps can now be evaluated on the App Store



The App Store allows users to rate the distributed apps on a 5-point scale. Until now, it was not possible to evaluate Apple's apps installed on the iPhone from the beginning, such as 'email', 'news', 'stock price', but the review was 'unbanned' by September 2021. I found out.

In the past, it was possible to review Apple's apps that were installed later, so not all apps whose developers are 'Apple' in the App Store can now be reviewed. As an example, Apple Research has been reviewed since 2019.

'It's getting worse and worse,' 'garbage,' 'why doesn't it have a sort function?', 'It broke after updating to iOS 15,' and so on.

No matter how much Apple pre-installed apps, there seems to be no app that gets 5 stars.
