For a company like Apple, making money may be too easy. It doesn't even have to do anything itself and can just wait for others to give it money. For example, the default engine of the iPhone alone earns up to $12 billion from Google every year.
Apple's browser's default search engine is considered a priority by companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. In recent years, Google has become the default engine for Safari browser and Siri voice assistant. Apple will definitely charge a fee, but the two parties have never disclosed the content of the relevant agreement.
In 2017, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook were photographed having dinner together, which sparked speculation about their relationship. The industry believed that the two sides had reached an exclusive cooperation agreement at that time.
Google is currently under investigation by the US Department of Justice, which is being called the biggest antitrust investigation in 20 years. The secret agreement between Google and Apple is also part of it.
According to US media reports, the bribe is valuable. Apple is expected to receive between $8 billion and $12 billion from Google each year in order to make Google the default search engine on its devices and services, including the iPhone and Siri, far higher than the $1 billion in 2014.
US$12 billion is approximately RMB 80 billion. This fee is considered to be the largest single payment made by Google, accounting for 14% to 21% of Apple's annual profit.
