Google and Apple

Ever since the preview of iOS 6 that was shown off at WWD conference, we've all been talking about is apple finally getting google and eric schimdt back for what they did to apple. i am of cousrse talking about the new mapping system that has been implemented into stock iOS 6. I've covered this before so i'm going to talk about what apple have done that to kick google off the gargoyle.
we all know at this point that apple have been bringing out betas of their new operating system, this is to get all the bugs out of a already established operating system. well at the end of the 5 year contract between google and apple, well this contract has recently expired and with iOS 6 beta 4 coming out, apple have failed to implement the youtube application into stock iOS. Usually we've seen the youtube icon being a main part of the iPhone's and iDevices image.

I've been talking to my uncle about this and i predicted this was going to happen, i knew that there was a contract involved but i wasn't quite sure what it entailed. With apple buying a new mapping technology company and intragrating it into stock iOS and getting rid of the aging google maps. I predicted that in order for apple to gain what was stolen from google, they have to get rid of all the google services and this infact involved YouTube which is part of the google family.

Google say they are making a more refined version of the YouTube app for the app store. With Google actually putting app store in their quote, This makes me believe that you will be seeing a YouTube app in the app store instead of the stock iOS.

There's only one more thing left of google's thats in iOS... well there's two things, one thing is the google search functionality in safari but possibly google will not need to have the google search on safari since they've brought out chrome for iOS and already 30% of iOS users are using chrome as their default internet browser. There's one more, in the stock Mail App, you can easily select Gmail and type in your user name and password and you're away at checking your email. well my prediction apple will end up pulling every little thing of googles and just having google make their own apps for the app store.

Thanks for reading
