For those who download the latest IOS 6 beta 4 yesterday, there was a surprise when they noticed the YouTube application is no longer a part of the OS. That is because Apple will no longer include YouTube player app on the IOS 6 because their license is gone. However, for users of IOS version 5 can still continue to use this application as long as they do not upgrade to IOS version 6.

These changes are still not clear why, Apple may have tired of paying Google a license, or it may just want to experience IOS for free from Google applications from the box. However, the end result may end up being better for the consumer or user. Apple also reported that Google own YouTube works a separate application for the IOS, which will be presented at the App Store some time in the future, I hope when the IOS 6 was released to the public.

In case you're wondering how you'll see the YouTube video without the player, do not be nervous as the video could easily be run in Safari. You can also access your subscriptions and favorites to login to the mobile Web site YouTube from your IOS device, similar to the applications that run IOS. So do not worry but smile.

Apple entire statement is below:

"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."
