The smartphone maker was allegedly reluctant to give up Google’s multibillion dollar paychecks.
WASHINGTON: The CEO of privacy-oriented search engine DuckDuckGo said its talks with Apple about a potential contract failed because the smartphone maker was reluctant to give up Google’s multibillion dollar paychecks, according to newly transcripts of a landmark antitrust trial of the Alphabet unit.
App makers seek to be the default in their area, whether it be search or maps or anything else, because many users are unable or reluctant to change defaults. In those meetings, Weinberg said, Apple executives would bring up the concern that its distribution agreements with Google may bar the change. The potential deal died in 2019, Weinberg argued because of the Google payments.
