Gmail for iOS gets an update which links the app directly to other Google apps, keeping user navigations within the Google sandbox. There’s a reason why the iOS versions of Google’s apps are better on iOS than Android.
Google doesn’t need to get iOS users to switch to Android. Google needs to make its iOS apps really compelling, far better than competing apps to get iOS users to use them, and when that threshold has been crossed, link them all up to keep everything inside Google.
The embrace, extend, extinguish principle is well and truly in effect.

This post explains how these two new identifiers work in comparison to UDID and what Limit Ad Tracking in iOS6 means. Essentially these were designed to provide better privacy options for consumers but Nick Arnott says it’s not as clear cut.
