There is quite a bit of apple crapware on my ipad pro that i can't delete but instead must move to a folder called bloatware

I define “crap ware” as crippled software where a company is trying to get you to spend more money.

I just got a brand new iPhone running iOS 11 - as opposed to the prior phone that I had that was upgraded to iOS 11. I didn’t realize that all of Apple’s iWork and iLife apps were installed by default. They are full featured apps so I wouldn’t consider them “crapware”. I did delete them though.

aren't all apps deletable since iOS 11? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208094

I wasn't aware of that. I must try again. I guess i was running iOS 10 the last time i tried. Thanks for the link

No. You can’t replace the phone dialer, contacts, messages or safari.
