I’ve been reading quite a lot of things regarding iPhone OS 4.0 Beta (1) on a lot of sites. One tiny “topic” suddenly made me write this post.
From MacRumors:
Apple Removes ‘Google’ Branding from iPhone 4 Safari
iLounge, however, also noted that in iPhone 4’s Safari application, Apple has removed the “Google” branding from the search button and simply replaced it with “Search”. While seemingly a minor detail, Apple has been said to be in discussions with Microsoft to replace Google as the default search engine on the iPhone. If this were to happen, Google would likely still be a user enable-able option.
From iLounge:
New in iPhone OS 4: The Full App-by-App Breakdown
Safari. “Google” has been replaced next to the keyboard’s space bar with the word “Search.” Ouch.
“Ouch???????”
iLounge only looked into one thing, but not the whole thing.
It is true that Apple “removes” the word “Google” and replaces it with “Search” in Safari button. iLounge failed to investigate that Apple also replaces “Yahoo!” with “Search” in Safari button.
- iPhone OS 3.2.3 Safari – Google
- iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1 Safari – Google
- iPhone OS 3.2.3 Safari – Yahoo!
- iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1 Safari – Yahoo!
Basically iLounge and MacRumors are fanning the flame with regards to Apple-vs-Google stories. They are reading too much into it.
It is basically the same things with the whole Megadeth-vs-Metallica, where the fans are making it worse.
