What is the difference among the following three sentences?
Both Apple and Google must remove the app.
Apple and Google both must remove the app.
Apple and Google must both remove the app.
To me the third sentence seems a bit strange because it does not satisfy any grammar rule.
They are all grammatical, but the first sentence definitely sounds the best. The "both...and..." construction is fairly common in English.
