Google could pay $ 3.000 billion to Apple to remain the default search engine

When a company achieves recognition at a technical and technological level, the rest of the services try to try to get a cut. An example is the case of Google, the largest search engine on the web with millions of searches daily. He is currently as the default search engine on all iOS both on iPhone and iPad, which reports to Google more than 50% of its mobile revenue.

To stay in the state it is in, that is, to remain the default search engine Google could pay $ 3.000 billion to Apple, a money that would add to the more than 7.000 million income in services announced by Apple in the recent communication of the fiscal results.

Apple and Google: a friendship of convenience and 3.000 billion dollars

With the data that we have given you before the jump, it is logical that Google do not miss the opportunity even if you have to shell out more money: more than half of your mobile income comes from iOS devices. For a few years, Google has paid Apple an amount of money so that iOS continues to have the Google search engine as default.

The data suggest that in 2014, the search engine paid close to 1.000 million while in this year, 2017, the price would have tripled reaching the 3.000 million as AMC analysts comment after collecting a series of data.

We cannot deny that the operation of iOS and Google search is really good and, as such, will remain so unless Apple gets a new and different tempting offer, an aspect that we believe will not be possible due to the magnitude of the figures handled by both companies. We can only see how a relationship progresses between two companies that have fought some battles but have solved others with the money involved.
