Macquarie (USA) Equities Research, a global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services, is speculating that Google will be bringing its popular Chrome Web browser to Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod iOS. Will Google do this? And, perhaps the more important question, “Will Apple let them do this?”

Macquarie’s analysts argue that Google will release a version of the Chrome Web browser for iOS. They see Chrome on iOS sometime in 2012 and as early as June 2012.

Why would Google do it? Well, the reason that immediately pops into my head is market-share. Macquarie spells it out in more detail.
