Apple will let you change the iPhone's default web browser and email app in iOS 14, but any plans to change others like music or maps are still far away. Here's why.
That means if you prefer a web browser other than Apple's Safari — like Google Chrome —or an email app besides Apple's Mail app, you'll be able to set those services as your default apps when you click a link or compose an email.

Apple is essentially taking a cautious approach to prevent developers from trying to work around Apple's rules and potentially mislead users, Federighi said during the interview with Brownlee.
But he also added that this is just where Apple "started," possibly hinting that Apple may expand the available choices in the future. Apple started with email and web browsers because those were two categories consumers wanted to customize the most, Federighi said.
