Lawsuit filed alleging Google is paying Apple to stay out of the search business
”The complaint claims that the means used to effectuate the non-compete agreement included; (1) Google would share it's search profits with Apple; (2) Apple would give preferential treatment to Google for all Apple devices; (3) regular secret meetings between the executives of both companies; (4) annual multi-billion-dollar payments by Google to Apple not to compete in the search business; (5) suppression of the competition of smaller competitors and foreclosing competitors from the search market; (6) acquiring actual and potential competitors.”Except for #6, this is literally “Google pays Apple to be the default search provider.”The alternative option seems to be that Apple is for some reason required to use their position to enter the search market.
