Relationship advice: Find someone who wants you as much as Google wants to be the default search engine on Safari.⁠ ⁠ Newly released court documents in the government's antitrust case against Google, which is scheduled to wrap up with closing arguments today, show that Google parent Alphabet paid Apple $20 billion to remain the default in 2022. ⁠ ⁠ Bloomberg reports that during the trial, a witness let slip that Google pays 36% of search ad revenue to Apple, and—though that relationship is at the heart of the government's monopoly claims against Google—other documents show Microsoft also wanted in, offering Apple 90% of ad revenue to break up with Google and go for Bing. ⁠ ⁠ 📸 : Getty⁠ ⁠ #apple #google #alphabet #tech #business #businessnews
