Zack, That isn't 100% correct. Yes, Google has stopped allowing users to use ActiveSync which is what Exchange uses to sync mail. This change was only for new connections, if you had an existing connection setup it continued to work. Also, if you have a paid Google Apps account you can still use ActiveSync to sync your Google mail, contacts, and calendar. From iOS you would use the Exchange option to use ActiveSync. But, when setting up a new mail account in iOS just select the Google option. This will sync your mail with IMAP, your calendar with CalDAV, and your contacts with CardDAV. It sets this all up automatically for you. I am not using this method over the ActiveSync and it works perfectly and very easy to setup.
