Google paid Apple $1B to be default iOS search bar provider in 2014
I think the concern here is that Apple is willfully profiting from a service which violates their stated stance on privacy. Many of us would call that hypocrisy.tenly said:
Wrong! Apple took a cut of advertising revenues - not tracking revenues. They don't force users to use Google. They provide it as an option - because they have to. They made it the default option for 34% of ad revenue. They continue to be vocal about how they (Apple) are not in the business of harvesting user data and how they disagree with the practice. Everything is above board and how it should be.
Shareholders would revolt if Apple turned down a billion dollars in revenue for the reasons you're suggesting they should have. They absolutely should continue to "bash their bedmates" as you phrased it. They would be guilty of everything you claim *IF* they took the money and STOPPED bashing Google. They have sacrificed nothing and managed to add a billion dollars in revenue to their bottom line for doing something they had to do anyhow! (there is no way they could omit google from the available search engines!). Bravo Tim!
