Apple Abandons YouTube App, a major snub to Google!!! An overview of the strategy involved behind this move

Late Steve Jobs brought about a revolution in form of an iphone device which was introduced in 2007. Since then there’s no looking back!!! iphone has turned out to be the World’s best and most popular cell phones. Its most amazing feature is pre-installed YouTube application.

But it’s difficult to absorb the announcement of eliminating Google map apps. Apple confirmed that YouTube app won’t come in the beta version of iPhone and iPad software iOS 6. In other words, apple has decided to abandon YouTube app from iOS6 just like they decided to do away with Google map apps. After the shocking announcement Apple and Google gave their respective statements:

Apple -

“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 introduced on the App Store.”

Google –

         “We are working with Apple to ensure we have the best possible YouTube experience for iOS users"

Late Steve Jobs Vowed for their Rivals –

Steve Jobs vowed till his 'last dying breath' to destroy iPhone rival, Android in a 'thermonuclear war'. Embarked (tactics to beat Android) on a war against Google and Android, suing companies who have adopted the software for their phones or tablets

It is disbelieving after sharing a bitter experience with Apple, Google has still decided to go ahead and give a helping hand to Apple.

Sharma says”, It's not a secret there's some tension between the two companies.”

So Many Unanswered Questions Coming in Mind:
