So that's why Google wants you to use Chrome on your iPhone so badly::Sundar Pichai's Google pays Tim Cook's Apple a whopping 36% of search revenue it gets when people use Safari — ouch.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


That figure was apparently not supposed to be disclosed in open court, but a witness mentioned it, leading Google's lawyer to "visibly cringe."

(Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed the number on Tuesday in testimony for a different antitrust lawsuit.)

Google is essentially willing to take a worse deal from Apple than it gives to Candy Crush.

You can certainly imagine why Google would love iPhone users to download the Chrome app and set it as their default search engines.

But data from Similarweb indicates Safari still makes up about 27% of browsers when considering all devices, including mobile phones.

Correction: November 15, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misstated the scope of Google's payments to Apple.
