No place for you tube app in Apple's new IOS 6

Apple will surprise many users as the familiar YouTube app will be excluded in its latest iOS 6 operating system. Apple’s decision to keep YouTube out iOS 6 comes just a couple of 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.

Apple's official statement:

Apple claimed in a statement that its licensing agreement with YouTube has expired. It isn’t clear yet whether the two companies are working on a new deal.

Google's official statement:

"we are working with Apple to ensure we have the best possible YouTube experience for iOS users." It declined to comment on whether the new YouTube app would be in the App Store in time for iOS 6.

Of course, with the iPhone no longer offering an app for YouTube and YouTube being owned by Google, it's more evidence that the two companies want to kill one another but in all honesty, this is a good thing for users. If you've spent any time with the iOS YouTube app, you'd know how terrible it was. The 3G video quality was poor, the features were limited, the buffering times were slow. It was inconvenient and unpleasant, basically the opposite of what YouTube is. After highlighting the app as a key feature for the original iPhone, Apple was letting it rot.

Last month, there were reports that users will not be required to enter a password when downloading free apps in iOS 6. Apple also acknowledged a vulnerability within iOS that allows users to access in-app content without paying for it, and promised a fix with iOS 6.

Here's a list of just some of what's coming soon to your iPhone, in alphabetical order. Tell us what you're most excited for in the comments.
