In 2014, Google paid Apple quite a large amount to keep its search engine as the default on all iPhones. The high amount became known to the world because of the massive Google/Oracle legal battle. Several other accounting figures have come to light, including what Oracle purports to be Google’s Android revenue ($31 billion with a profit of $22 billion).
In the deal with Apple, every time an iPhone or iPad user sees a Google ad via the default search, Apple gets a cut of which at one point stood at 34%. Yet both companies are keeping quiet on the subject.
Although Google would prefer these records to be kept secret, and although the judge of the case ordered the records to be sealed, the Internet has found a way in.
Oh, and the amount? $1 billion. But I wonder: If Google wasn’t the default browser, what search engine would be? And wouldn’t people just google Google anyways?
