Google Gives Youtube App The Boot

In a rather striking announcement made by the most celebrated tech company, Apple, it has been revealed that Google’s Youtube app will no longer be included in the operating system made available by Apple for its iPhone and iPad users. Although the official statement mentions that Apple and Google are parting ways, many analysts and technology experts are of the opinion that with this fall out between the two technology giants, Google has great opportunity at hand to push for the popularity of its very own mobile operating platform, Android.

YouTube is undoubtedly one of the world’s most popular video viewing platforms with more than a few hundred million users and more than billion videos in its database that covers everything and anything under the sun. And there’s no doubt about the fact that a huge share of YouTube fans comprise of a fair percentage of Apple product users.

This means that the users of Apple products who choose to upgrade to the latest iOS release from Apple (which is named iOS 6) will no longer be able to sue the YouTube app as a native inbuilt offering.

In case you are one of those Apple gizmo users who choose not to upgrade to the iOS 6 operating platform, you can continue to sue the YouTube app from your phone. But in that case, you will be missing out on a number of other important updates that iOS 6 comes with.

What you must keep this in mind here is that Google has already released its YouTube app from the iOS platform and you can easily download it form the app store from Apple. This app is available for free and retains every future of the native iOS YouTube app.

While many technology experts are thinking that this might be due to the fact that Apple is growing weary of Google pushing the popularity of its very own Android platform, many others are of the opinion that this fall out resulted due to the Apple and Samsung court battle. And of course, we all know how that battle ended with Samsung being compelled to pay 1 billion dollars to Apple as damages for patent infringement.

Google’s allegiance lies with Samsung owing to the fact that the Samsung handsets and tablets are the biggest hardware offerings with the Android operating system from Google.

With Google releasing the YouTube app which you can download from the app store, there is a hope that the squabble will cool down for the time being, though many fear that it will resurface soon enough. You can also access the YouTube website through the Safari explorer that the iOS comes bundled with. It will be an interesting to witness the fight between the two technology giants of the 21^st century.
