2. Apple TV
Apple TV has become such a big streaming platform that Apple decided to make it a pre-installed app for modern iOS users. If you're subscribed to it and enjoy Apple TV's original content, then having it on your phone can be nice. But if you don't have a subscription and can't watch anything, then you should certainly delete it to save up some storage space. Even if you do have a subscription, if you're running out of space on your iPhone, deleting it and sticking to watching it on your TV instead can help.

There's a good chance that you're not making movies on iMovie, and you'd be surprised by how much storage you can save by deleting it, as it holds onto all sorts of files and features until it's gone.
