Many Apple users have probably wondered why their company, a rival of Google, keeps Google services on its system, especially the search engine<\/strong>. The answer, as usual, boils down to something quite simple: money. According to the analyst firm Bernstein, Google is reportedly paying Apple between 18 to 20 billion dollars<\/strong> to be the primary search engine on their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures from Bernstein<\/a> indicate that Google and Apple might be engaged in anti-competitive behavior, something heavily scrutinized in the United States to prevent monopolies<\/strong>. This alleged agreement between the two companies provides Apple with a sum that constitutes between 14% and 15% of its annual revenue, a significant amount for Apple’s overall earnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Eliminating competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons why this information is so controversial, aside from the staggering amount involved<\/strong>, is that it goes against the free market principles that the United States has always championed. That’s why oligopolies are under strict scrutiny and attention<\/strong> from the competent authorities in the American government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, there are indications, according to analysts, that Google might also be making similar payments to other major companies in the industry, such as Samsung or Mozilla<\/strong>. However, it is estimated that their financial figures do not come close to the exceptionally high amounts involved in the agreement between Apple and Google<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complaint and potential consequences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple is currently in the midst of a marketing campaign for its new iPhone 15. However, if a lawsuit forces them to end the agreement<\/strong>, the bitten apple would suffer significant commercial damage, given that the sum represents around 15% of its annual revenue<\/strong>. This is not a remote possibility, as Google is currently under investigation<\/strong> for its monopolistic practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Apple and Google would face a significant setback if they fail to convince the Department of Justice that their agreement is commercially legitimate<\/strong> and does not harm competition in the market. Nevertheless, this legal battle will be lengthy, and there are still many developments to unfold <\/strong>before a final resolution is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n
