    In order to create a “viable” search engine business, Apple would be required to “sell targeted advertising,” which is “not a core business” for the company and would go against its “longstanding privacy commitments.”

    Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.

      Well, yeah, they hand over everything to Google when using their search engine by default. It’s definitely a business for Apple.

      They keep their image as privacy friendly, while taking cool cash to let others harvest the data. Stonks.

          Yes. Apple is defaulting Google in their browsers and search in general. Google is paying Apple. Google is using the data they get when people search on Apple products.
