Apple's iOS will see a version of Google Chrome before the year's out, and possibly before the end of Q2 -- at least according to research firm Macquarie Group.
The equity research group claims that Chrome for iOS is due for several reasons, all of which can be summed up as part of the current "browser wars." These include Google's interest in reducing costs. It currently pays Apple for, among other things, each person using Google services in Apple's default Safari browser; getting people to use the services through its own browser would potentially offset those costs.
When asked to comment on whether an iOS version of Chrome was in the works, a Google representative said, "We do not comment on rumor or speculation."
