"The day before Apple is set to unveil its new iPhone, Google has released a standalone app that will replace the stock YouTube app that has been removed from iOS 6.\r\n\r\nGoogle announced the release on its official blog\u00A0early Tuesday.\u00A0The company touted the apps' channel guide, instant search recommendations and options to share to social networking sites.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe release notes for the app list the following features:\r\n\r\n\tEnjoy YouTube\u2019s vast video catalog, including official music videos\r\n\tFind videos and channels more easily with voice search and query autocomplete\r\n\tSubscribe to channels and instantly access your subscriptions with the channel guide UI\r\n\tRead comments, browse related videos, enable subtitles and more - all while watching\r\n\tEasy video sharing to Google+, E-mail, Facebook and Twitter\r\n\r\nThe new app comes with a trade-off. Google says tens of thousands of videos, such as music videos from VEVO, are now available that we'ren't before, but users will now have to sit through advertising to watch them.\r\n\r\nReports emerged last month that Apple and Google would part ways on the bundled YouTube app with the release of iOS 6, which is expected to arrive alongside the sixth-generation iPhone.\r\n\r\nApple confirmed the move (and Google's upcoming app) with a statement: &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nGoogle responded by noting that it was &amp;quot;working with Apple to ensure we have the best possible YouTube experience for iOS users.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn August, TNW's own Matthew Panzarino provided the following reasons for the split:\r\n\r\n\r\n\tApple doesn\u2019t need it any more.\r\n\tThis year is all about getting rid of Google.\r\n\tGoogle will be able to push updates faster.\r\n\tGoogle stands to make a ton of money from ads.\r\n\r\n\r\n\u27A4 YouTube for iPhone\r\n\r\n(hat tip Engadget)\r\n\r\nImage credit"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
