Google Pays Apple 36% of Safari Search Revenue

During the antitrust trial between Google and the Department of Justice, it was revealed that Google pays Apple 36% of the revenue it generates from Safari searches. This arrangement exists due to Apple's control over the Safari browser on its iDevices, specifically iPhones. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, confirmed this during his testimony. While this partnership seems mutually beneficial, there are questions about the discrepancy in payments with other key partners like Samsung. Nonetheless, being the default search engine on Apple devices is crucial for Google as it maintains its lead in search advertising.
