Apple seeks search partner, must have $20 billion
If this penalty sticks, Apple could be looking for a new suitor. Something has to be the default search provider in Safari and other Apple products.
Does something really have to replace it? Why not a menu of options? Make the user choose something. If they choose Google, great! If they choose DDG, fantastic! Whatever it is, make it a choice.
Yes something has, they need their moneyss.
Shit, how much is Google spending on these deals??
The google annual cost to have Google as default search on iPhone is north of 20b, hence the number in the article headline. They also pay lots to Mozilla and others.
So assuming those are not long term deals they are probably over $30 billion now.
