Even though I use iOS devices, Google isn’t my search engine on these devices. I can understand an organization like Mozilla needing the money from Google, but when we’re talking about a trillion dollar company, I cannot have the same understanding.
Like corporations would pass on literally tens of billions of dollars (yearly) just because they are big.
Unless Apple had it's own competing search service they have no reason to pass on that much money unless it becomes a huge liability.
I guess you’re right. And maybe most is their users are fine (or prefer) to use Google search, so that’s even a plus for Apple.
