Google is reportedly paying Apple up to $20 BILLION per year — not for a product, not for a feature — but simply to remain the default search engine on iPhones and other Apple devices. 😳
Why?
Because being the default means billions of daily searches and massive ad revenue. In fact, this deal could account for 15–20% of Apple’s annual services profit. 💸
But it's not just about money — it's also under fire. The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether this partnership is an illegal monopoly, blocking out competition like Bing and DuckDuckGo. 🕵️♂️
Is this smart business or anti-competitive behavior? 🤔
