"YouTube App Disappears from iOS6 Update"

YouTube App Disappears from iOS6 Update

If you plan on updating your iPod, iPhone or iPad with iOS6 beta, you will notice something missing: that retro TV icon symbolizing the YouTube app. Apple has announced that the YouTube app had been removed from the latest version of iOS6 because its “license to produce the program had expired.”

The Apple version of the YouTube app had been on the iOS since the iPhone was first launched in 2007. Google will instead develop its own version of the app, which will be available on the Apple App Store soon.
The fourth beta version of the iOS6 was released by Apple on August 6th, with the final version expected to arrive in September in time for the rumored launch of the new iPhone. Despite the absence of YouTube on iOS6, not all of its functions have disappeared. Apple stated that users can still play videos by visiting YouTube with a web browser. Videos can also be uploaded on YouTube straight from the phone or tablet.
