Apple refuses to YouTube on the new iPhone and the iPad

Apple refuses to YouTube on the new iPhone and the iPad

On the new iPhone and iPad tablet will no longer be an application for viewing videos YouTube, Reuters reported, citing the statement by Apple.

The Corporation reports that the duration of the license to include YouTube application to the operating system iOS «ended." Apple points out that users will be able to use YouTube through a built-in Safari browser, or download the application YouTube App from App Store.

Analysts said the rejection of YouTube is another sign of growing competition between the two largest U.S. corporations - Apple and Google.

In May, Apple reported that refuses the application Google.Maps.

The world's largest search engine Google is also the developer of the popular operating system Android, which is used in smartphones from Samsung and HTC.

YouTube application for the iPhone attended since 2007.

On the eve of Apple reported that it began testing a new version of iOS 6, the presentation of which is to be held in September. It is assumed that both will feature the new version of the iPhone and the iPad based on iOS 6

Apple отказывается от YouTube на новых iPhone и iPad

На новых смартфонах iPhone и планшетниках iPad больше не будет приложения для просмотра видео YouTube, сообщает Reuters со ссылкой на заявление Apple.

Корпорация сообщает, что срок действия лицензии на включение приложения YouTube в операционную систему iOS «закончился». Apple уточняет, что теперь пользователи смогут использовать YouTube через встроенный браузер Safari или скачать приложение YouTube App из App Store.

Аналитики говорят, что отказ от YouTube является еще одним признаком растущей конкуренции между двумя крупнейшими американскими корпорациями – Apple и Google.

В мае Apple сообщала, что откажется от приложения Google.Maps.

Крупнейший в мире поисковик Google также является разработчиком популярной операционной системы Android, которая используется в смартфонах Samsung и HTC.

Приложение YouTube присутствовало на смартфонах iPhone с 2007 года.

Накануне Apple сообщила, что начала тестировать новую версию операционной системы iOS 6, презентация которой должна состояться в сентябре. Предполагается, что одновременно будут представлены новые версии iPhone и iPad на базе iOS 6. .

Корпорация не включила приложение в iOS 6

Противостояние Apple и Google переходит в плоскость приложений. Вслед за отказом от Google Maps корпорация отказалась от еще одного приложения Google — YouTube, не включив его в новую операционную систему.

В понедельник корпорация Apple выпустила тестовую версию новой операционной системы iOS 6, которая не включает приложение YouTube. «Наша лицензия включать приложение YouTube в iOS истекла, клиенты могут пользоваться YouTube через браузер Safari, а Google работает над новым приложением YouTube, которое будет доступно в App Store»,— говорится в официальном заявлении корпорации. При этом в Apple не уточнили, планируется ли замена YouTube аналогичным сервисом, но от другой компании.

Почему Apple отказалась от Google Maps В этом году корпорация выпустит собственный аналог ...

Решение отказаться от видеосервиса Google стало неожиданным, ведь приложение включалось в ОС с 2007 года, когда был выпущен первый iPhone. Однако, по мнению экспертов, серьезного финансового ущерба политика Apple компании Google не нанесет, хотя, безусловно, усложнит ее попытки продвигать сервисы пользователям мобильных устройств. «Это риск для всей мобильной стратегии Google в том плане, что их сервисы не так просто будет найти, нежели раньше. Они должны быть везде, где есть пользователи»,— цитирует Reuters Рональда Джоузи, аналитика ThinkEquity.

YouTube — один из самых популярных сервисов: ежемесячно его посещает более 800 млн пользователей сети, а ежедневное количество видеопросмотров достигает 4 млрд. Это уже не первый отказ от приложения Google. В начале июня Apple объявила, что до конца года откажется от сервиса Google Maps, заменив его на аналогичную собственную разработку. Для этого Apple даже приобрела несколько компаний, которые занимаются разработкой карт.
