"SAN FRANCISCO — Apple Inc. said Google Inc.’s YouTube, Search or Maps won’t be included in the next update of the software used in the iPhone and iPad, the latest evidence of escalating competition between the companies.

As Google has pushed into the smartphone market, the relationship between the companies has frayed. Google’s Android* software is now the world’s largest operating system for smartphones.

Apple also plans to replace Google’s maps application with its own in the next iOS *release.

A license has expired that allowed the company to include YouTube, a spokeswoman for Apple said. As a result, the YouTube, Google Maps and Google Search apps won’t be allowed on devices any longer."
