Apple has requested to participate in Google's upcoming U.S. antitrust trial, arguing that it must defend its lucrative revenue-sharing agreements with the tech giant, which send billions in payments each year for making Google the default search engine on Safari.
Apple's lawyers stated in court filings that the company cannot rely on Google to protect the interests of its revenue-sharing deal, which amounted to an estimated $20 billion in 2022 alone. Despite this, Apple clarified it has no plans to develop its own search engine to compete with Google.
As part of the trial, the U.S. Department of Justice is pushing for measures that could break up Google’s search dominance, possibly involving the sale of its Chrome browser and Android operating system to foster competition. Apple’s participation in the case is aimed at ensuring its interests are represented, with plans to call witnesses during the trial scheduled for April.
Google, in response, has proposed easing default agreements with developers and carriers, but it has not agreed to end its revenue-sharing model, which is central to its deal with Apple. This landmark antitrust case could significantly impact the way users interact with online search tools.
A spokesperson for Google declined to comment.
