delete ibooks and podcast app from ipad air2 I am trying to free up space and want to delete the podcast and ibooks apps.  I went into settings-restrictions and lifted restrictions for these apps but still can't delete them. How is it possible to delete these apps?
No, the stock/standard Apple apps can't be deleted.  You can delete individual podcasts or iBooks, but not the apps themselves.  Hopefully, Apple will allow this in a future iOS release.
