Were you referring to me? The iOS6 upgrade *does* remove Google Maps and YouTube; I never said you lose them forever. In fact, I was explicit in pointing out that they are easy to add back. This is precisely what I said:

That said, it is rather annoying that iOS 6 forces you download apps they've removed and tweak settings to preserve battery life. Perhaps in the future they'll just make it work without additional steps being needed. Also, Google Maps via a web browser can be decent, but is nowhere nearly as robust as a native app. On the bright side, if you're updating an older iPhone to iOS6, at least you don't have to deal with the WiFi, halo, and other iPhone 5 bugs, as well as a case that is scratched more easily and its proprietary charger.
