Yandex NV, Russia’s largest Web search engine, will have its location-search service integrated in the latest version of Apple Inc.’s software used in the iPhone and iPad sold in the country, according to vendors.
Apple has developed its own maps tools for users of the new iOS 6 operating system, which powers the iPhone 5 unveiled last week, replacing a service offered by Google Inc. Alexander Patsay, director of program management at Moscow-based software maker Parallels Holding Ltd., said he has tested the developer version of iOS 6 and noticed that its Maps application is integrated with Yandex’s geographical search.
