I guess this is good news..

I am assuming, this will free up both Google and Apple to create better YouTube app for iPhone. I don't care about advertisements as long as my video quality improves. Currently, you-tube video quality on 3/4G network sucks. It has gone slightly better on 4G but still they have put some kind of throttling when you are on cellular network.

Next iPhone, iPad won’t have YouTube packaged


Apple’s new version of its iPhone and iPad software will not include a pre-packaged app for Google’s popular video website, YouTube, Apple
said Monday. The move marked the latest sign of the growing rivalry between the two technology companies, close on the heels of Apple’s decision to dump Google’s mapping software from its devices.

“Our license to include the YouTube app in iOS has ended,” Apple said in a statement Monday.

“Customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new You-Tube app to be on the app store.”

Google was not immediately available for comment.
