Today Apple has released Beta 4 of iPhone OS mobile operating system 6 . With some very interesting developments and improvements including Siri, sharing the Bluetooth and many improvements in stability, perhaps the biggest surprise has been the disappearance of the native application from Youtube. Since 2007 with us in all versions of IOS, it seems that Apple wants to eliminate all ties that joined Google as it did with the new Maps application (which replaced Google Maps). But although at first glance seem a setback in the search strategy, far from reality as Youtube sources have confirmed they are working on a new application and latest developments with hundreds of new ones that will be available for download the App Store.

Youtube iOS

We parted perhaps one of the longest-standing applications that come installed as standard on all versions of IOS. Not since 2007, with the launch of the first versions of IOS and Apple kept open war against the standard Adobe Flash, not including it in the mobile version of Safari browser. Youtube application was conceived in an agreement with the giant Google to support all the videos that were embedded along the entire internet, but now, with the addition of HTML5, was meaningless.

Given this frame of mind and with the agreement virtually to a close, Apple has decided not to renew the contract with Google. It has even made several statements to the media on this subject:

Our license to include the YouTube application in IOS over. Customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new YouTube application to be in the App Store.

First of all we have to think that this is an entirely predictable move. How many users using this application now? Practically not been updated since its creation, keeping a dark interface, not usable without innovations. You could say that we were facing the Chronicle of a Death Foretold. And with the change in Apple policy to Google, there was no room for an application whose destination was a search tool developed by the company on the block. Siri And what about all this? You see, Apple has removed all mention of this application of the database wizard voice.

Who stands to gain from all this: Google or users?

In this maneuver are two big winners. On the one hand, users that within not too long we can find an application for use of Youtube with the same quality as Google +, and Chrome Drive. Google has sent a statement assuring that provide an application that meets the needs of users of IOS. New functionality, modern design and of course, with constant updates that come from Google, without having to pass through the hands of Apple. Who knows, maybe find tools for video editing and FX filters or effects, not only for video consumption, but to the creation of material to Youtube servers.

Instead, the search engine Google know what most craves: money. Economic benefits because of a possible inclusion of advertisements within the application. One can imagine an application developed by Google and Youtube every 2 videos consumed, skip an ad impossible to dodge.

We are confronted with a divorce agreement, without bloody battles in the courts or derogatory statements. Two large as Apple and Google have decided to go each turn, hopefully always looking for the user.
