Apple Removes YouTube App from iOS 6?! NO MORE YOUTUBE?!?!

If you didn't already hear Apple has removed the official YouTube app from iOS 6 Beta 4. Now this means that Apple doesn't want the slightest of Google's software on their devices. First it was Apple dropping Google Maps and making their own Maps app and now YouTube. I'm not to sure why Apple has removed it but most people are saying it's because of disputes between Samsung and Apple therefore Apple dropped Google services OR Apple's license has ran out with Google (They didn't renew it) although both sound like very realistic reasons the removal of the app is still unclear. As posted on "The Verge" Apple has released this statement:


Our license to include the YouTube app in iOS has ended, customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new YouTube app to be on the App Store.

Now don't worry about Apple removing the YouTube app if your on iOS 5 or lower. I don't think they will go through the trouble of doing this and disappointing that many people by removing this feature. Even though they might remove it you can still go to YouTube Mobile and watch videos from there. So what do you think about this, should Apple have removed it or just renewed their license with Google even with Samsung's dispute? Leave a comment below!
