iOS 6 Beta 4 Removes Dedicated YouTube App [Updated]

[MythicFrost]

I'm glad this happened. If it didn't, I may not have searched for a YouTube alternative in the App Store. I highly recommend TubeBox, it's brilliant. Better than the YouTube app ever was, and it lets you repeat them and download them. (You can't save them off the device though I don't think.)

I use my fourth generation iPod touch and output video from the YouTube app with an Apple composite AV cable. I don't think that'd work with the mobile site.

I'm pretty sure it does.

Not sure with that cable.

I would post the question on the Apple forums, I would have thought someone on there will be able to answer it.

No it's not gone ... take a serious look and you'll see, it's flagged as removed, but the space technically isn't free'd up just yet.

Funnily enough ALL file systems work the same way. When you delete something, it's flagged as removed but everything is still there until it is overwritten. It's the same in Linux, Windows, OS X, WP7 and Android.

Can't really use application switcher when the only "feature" that works is a power reset ... hence rogue application.

But you originally mentioned using the power off slider. In which case springboard is working. The only time I've ever had springboard crash on me is when I have jailbroken. Otherwise, I've always been able to get back to the home screen and then onto Application switcher.

Level of quality?? I've found NO difference in application quality on Android, Win7, or iOS -- please show me the quantitative data that shows Apple's iTunes store applications are of higher quality? All have some good apps and some bad apps only difference is that Apple make money out of both the good AND bad claiming the bad doesn't exist, yet anyone using a iPhone knows the bad apps do exist.

garbeth, enlighten me!

You're right that there are good and bad apps on all platforms. The vast majority of apps are free to end users on iOS, Yes Apple charges devs to get on the platform, but then again they have a right to fund the not inconsiderable cost of running the App store and other services that iOS users get like iCloud. You think big data centres cost nothing to run? Google on the other hand will make money from advertising. iAd hasn't really taken off in the way that Apple wanted.

this could be a good thing. this way google can update the youtube app more often through the app store
