Apple dumps YouTube from iOS 6

0 comments
Apple obviously is parting away with Google, at first it removed the Google Map from iOS 6 and now it is another of web giant's biggest property that had got the next blow from the Apple. Now, Apple has made it clear that the YouTube will now not be featured as a default option in the iOS. The latest beta version of the iOS 6 doesn't includes the standard YouTube app. 
Apple has confirmed that its licence to include YouTube with its OS has expired. But if you are some serious YouTube fanatic then fear not, Apple has already confirmed that the YouTube will be available in the Safari Browser and Google is also working on a new YouTube app for App store. 
It is yet not cleared that what had caused this change, may be Apple got tired by paying Licence fees to Google or it may have been wanting to deliver a Google free iOS experience. However the incoming results could be beneficial for the customers as the earlier YouTube app has bot seen any gradual change over the years and with Google creating its own version of YouTube app, YouTube can fit in some more extra features and updates.
However, the older iOS 5 devices will still hold up with the YouTube app, which seems that Google's Licencing allows it to stay on older OS.
