Google pays between $8 billion and $12 billion annually to be the default search engine on Apple’s iPhones and other devices, representing 15% to 20% of Apple’s profit. That deal is now at the heart of the U.S. government's antitrust case against Google.

The Justice Department’s attempt to punish Google for its competitive practices in internet search could end up taking a major toll on a different tech giant: Apple Inc.

A multibillion-dollar deal in which Google pays to be the default search engine on Apple’s iPhones and other devices is at the heart of the case the U.S. government filed last week against Google. That deal is also at the heart of Apple’s services unit, which has been the biggest contributor to its growth over the past several years.

This might be a huge win for Google, Ok don’t pay Apple, Consumer will still choose Google over other because they are so far ahead in search engine query.

What’s the alternative... bing 🤣

cchukudebelu I would love to see how this plays out. Pretty sure Google (and Apple) has a nifty trick in play.

So $AAPL makes more revenue from its 'browser' business than Microsoft 🤔

Railroad rebates anyone?

How would this lawsuit actually hold Google accountable for anything? Seems like Apple shareholders would be the only losers and no meaningful change to consumers.
