Η Google has been paying for years Apple, so that the default search engine remains in the Safari browser and as analysts estimate the amount it gives each year is… dizzying,
According to analyst Rod Hull, for this year alone, Google's money to Apple could reach $ 9 billion. This amount is expected to grow further and may reach $ 12 billion in 2019.
The relationship between Google and Apple has always been interesting. Although Apple uses Google as its default search engine in Safari, the company also uses Microsoft (Bing) search engine in other channels such as Siri Digital Assistant.
Apple recently announced that it will base its development from now on mainly on software and services such as Apple Music and iCloud. It remains to be seen whether it will make any move in the field of search engines.
