@ 2023/02/21Aiming to discourage Apple competing with Google
A UK watchdog is concerned that Google has been shelling out money to Apple to make sure that Jobs Mob does not want to start competing with Chrome on iOS.
Google has been paying Apple a portion of search revenue generated by people using Google Chrome on iOS. From the report:
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is looking into Chrome on iOS and its role in a search revenue-sharing deal Google has with Apple.
It is worried that Google's payments to Apple discourage the iPhone maker from competing with Google. After all Apple does not have to do anything to get substantial payments and explains why Apple, though hugely profitable, has not invented the search engine or seriously invested in its Safari browser.
