Many of the apps that come with your Mac can't be uninstalled. This is because they are part of the system, and the system is protected from being altered. You can see which apps are protected by knowing where to look. Fortunately, these apps are relatively small and don't use much space.

Looking beyond the big new AI features in macOS Golden Gate there are a lot of small useful new AI-related functions that can save you time and increase your productivity. macOS will now suggest file names for new documents, give you quick text responses, add calendar events when viewing information, search for vague things in multiple apps, and even compose Numbers formulas.
