Apple spoke about separating services like Chrome-Android from Google, know what it said

Hearings are going on in the US to break Google. In this anti-trust case, there is a proposal to separate the company's important Chrome search engine/web browser and Android services to end Google's monopoly in the Internet search sector. Now another big tech company Apple has also put forth its side in this matter. It has been told that Apple has made it clear in this anti-trust hearing against Google that it cannot depend only on Google in the matter of search engines.

It is worth noting that Apple has made an important agreement with Google regarding the use of its search engine. Under this, Google pays billions of dollars to Apple every year to remain the default search engine in the Safari browser present in Apple's products like iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. In 2022 alone, Apple has received $20 billion from Google under this agreement.

However, it is believed that now Apple has decided to let go of this revenue in the ongoing anti-trust case with the proposal to break up Google. The lawyers of the company have told the court that Apple and Google are not rivals at all and Apple does not want to keep it in competition in the field of search engines. Apple says it will keep that position whether it gets billions of dollars in revenue from Google in the coming times or not.

Not only this, but Apple has also said in its petition that it wants to call witnesses in the hearing starting in April 2025. It is believed that with the start of the hearing against Google, the prosecutors will raise the issue of Google's monopoly in the Internet sector and demand the separation of its Chrome browser and Android operating system from the company. According to the prosecutors, only then would the competition resume in the field of online search; though it may have gigantic losses for Google.
