iOS 6 beta 4 available: the YouTube app disappears, Bluetooth transfers and other lessons from this version

While it should come out "at
autumn" and perhaps even as early as September, theiOS system
6continues to be refined by Apple. Therenew Beta version
of iOS was released last night, this is the 4th and it is
available for developers on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Apple TV in
over-the-air (“OTA”) update

Beta versions, although not intended for the general public, are often
rich in information on modifications and new features possibly not
announced that Apple will bring to our machines. But before seeing those
arrivals with this Beta 4, know that you can findthe main ones
new in this article,25 new features on video
To be, a list of200 new features and
changes here.

Moving on to a review of the changes, some are relatively
important:

Disappearance of the native YouTube application

It's a surprise that arrives with this Beta 4 of iOS 6 because the application
YouTube waspresent since the launch of the iPhone in 2007
but it had never been updated until then, Google offering by
against an increasingly sophisticated mobile version in parallel.

The reason for this disappearance wasgiven by
Appleto the site "the Verge", namely that "the iOS integration license
had expired" and that "Google was working on an application that
would be available in the App Store". A somewhat strange communication since
naturally a license can be extended if both parties wish.
Except that we know the increasingly tense relations between the two
giants (including the replacement of Google mapping data with those
of Apple in this version of iOS) and this should not be unrelated to this
decision.

From a product point of view, an application created and updated
regularly by Google will certainly bring great possibilities, will cut
the automatic link to the application when you want to view a video,
is it better or worse, everyone will see according to their habits
of use.

Managing a centralized Google account for sending videos directly
on his YouTube account does not seem impacted by these changes, so much the better
!

Update: it seems that it was Google who wanted
regain control of the various applications using your videos

A new settings screen in the “Confidentiality” section concerning the
"Partage Bluetooth" appears. This one named concerns
applications thatwill be able to communicate via Bluetooth even when they
are not used.

Is this the start of opening up Bluetooth in iOS? Let's wish
the !

  • L’applicationPassbook, still no
    functional nevertheless presents a new button named "App Store". This one
    could eventually lead to a dedicated section of the Apple app store,
    to an area dedicated to apps supporting PassBook?
  • Improvements regarding the application "Plans" are
    also noted. Among these, we will notesatellite views
    improved    (Apple had announced that this would improve) and
    increasing performance. Directions for one-way roads
    unique are now displayed with a small blue arrow. News
    cities are now present in the 3D views, including Lyon for the
