Apple Wants to Help Google Defend Search Engine Deal Worth Billions - MacRumors

Quick Summary:

The court decided that the agreement between Apple and Google violated antitrust law, and is a major reason Google has been able to maintain its search engine monopoly.The U.S.government asked the court to bar Google from entering into contracts with Apple, among other restrictions, and that will cost Apple a lot of money.

Apple wants to defend its multi-billion dollar search engine deal with Google, which is in danger because Google has been found guilty of violating antitrust law.

If the court decides that Google can't pay Apple to be the default search engine on Safari, Apple would still have to offer Google Search as an option in some capacity, but would not be able to continue to collect money for doing so.
