    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.

            And how does making a google search constitute “handing over everything to Google”?

            Especially in your example of the default context when a user is using Safari, which has tracking protection enabled. And possibly using iCloud Relay to anonymize browsing.
