In the ongoing antitrust trial between the U.S. and Google, the amount that Google pays Apple to be the default search provider in Safari has been unintentionally revealed during proceedings.
Google’s ongoing antitrust trial in the U.S. has been something it has tried to keep out of the limelight, but unfortunately, during today’s proceedings a key bit of information regarding its long-standing search deal with Apple was unintentionally revealed, Bloomberg reports.
It was revealed that Google is paying Apple a 36 percent cut of all of its search ad revenue that comes from Apple’s Safari browser, according to Kevin Murphy, a professor from the University of Chicago, who shared the figure during his testimony for Google’s defense.
