iOS 6 is moving away from using Google Maps, so that Apple can add navigation, vector based maps, and other features missing from the iOS platform. No confirmed reason has emerged for the change, and speculation is all over the place. From public statements in 2009, Google intended to bring the new features to the platform, but never did.

OS X and iOS continues to support GMail, contact and calendar syncing. YouTube video uploading is also still in a number of places in both OS X and iOS.
