Apple covered, so Google is now lost as a virtual search engine (and $ 22 billion a year)

They all increased alarm or lost a deadline, but did you cost you $ 20 billion? According to Ars TechnicaIt may have just happened to Apple, which has suffered some paralysis of the decision that angered by a federal judge and the company may cost its profitable agreement with Google to make the company’s virtual search engine on Apple devices.

The decline in Apple’s feet is linked to a upcoming hearing of the Anti -Monopathic issue against Google, which led to the ruling of the federal court over the company I illegally kept a monopoly on the Internet search. In response to this ruling, the Ministry of Justice has proposed a number of ways to treat the Google dominance of the law, including ending the deals that made Google the virtual search engine on Apple and Firefox browser from Mozilla.

It is understood, Apple wanted to have an opinion on this decision and argued in one of the court files that she is entitled to participate in the session because it has a large share in how to resolve the case. The only problem, like Documented by MediaPostDid the company submit this deposit in December, when the Ministry of Justice submitted the proposal in October. Apple tried to say that it was not clear that her deal could be in danger until November. However, until then, the court indicated that Cuperno waited for 33 days to respond – a delay, the Court of Appeal said was “difficult to justify.”

So Apple will be marginalized for trial – able to submit a written certificate but was prevented from the direct session that is scheduled to start in April. At stake is the exclusive company agreement with Google, which has been present for years 20 billion dollars was born For Apple recently like 2022. It is estimated at 25 % of the total service revenues in Apple in 2022. If the court decides to cancel the deal between the two companies, Apple stumbles in a very difficult place.

Apple initially wanted to go with Yahoo, According to the details that came out of the trial of the Ministry of JusticeBut it finally fell on Google because it got a very good offer. Why do you spend the resources on developing its search engine when you can focus on building your walled garden and spending billion dollars from one of your biggest competitors? Most people do not change their virtual browser, so taking this spot mainly ensures that most Apple search movement will go through the Google platform. At least until this deal ends due to this condition. I think the company should have provided this shortly before.
