The no more native YouTube App that came with iOS 6 beta 4 caused a shock for a lot of iOS users and stirred a lot of talk as to why Apple would such an unexpected step?. Most of the talk was directed at a decaying relationship between Apple and Google. However, an official statement by Apple today put an end to speculations.

Apple straightforwardly explained that the reason behind removing the YouTube App is that their license has expired   and that the app is currently not part of its mobile software and that Google is now working on a new YouTube app for the Store.

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.

 This news would mean that Google could be planning to develop a better, well-designed app rather than the current bland YouTube app.

It`s worth noting that iOS 6 is still in beta version. The last beta was released yesterday and as we know it can jailbreaking by redsnow. iOS 6 beta 4 brought a number of changes and improvements. iOS 6 is expected a release alongside the next gen iPhone in September and we are expecting the new iPhone to come with iOS 6 pre-installed.
