Apple and Google have long since become bitter rivals in the mobile market. In fact, Apple announced on Aug. 6 that it would not offer a native YouTube app in iOS 6. Users hoping to access YouTube videos will be forced to watch them from within the browser. Google will also likely launch a YouTube app in the App Store. Apple’s decision to keep YouTube out of iOS 6 comes just a few months after it announced that the native Google Maps app would also be stricken from iOS 6 and be replaced by its own Maps application. It’s not immediately clear if Apple will come up with something to replace YouTube. Still, it’s clear that Apple wants nothing to do with Google in iOS 6.
