Not under protest, but for profit. The current figures are not public, but Google pays billions annually to Apple to remain the default search engine on iOS.

  It's easy to change, and one of the default options is DuckDuckGo.

  Do you think aapl needs google's "billions"? No, they're making way more money selling "privacy" and building a solid search engine to replace google is high priority for them.

    >and building a solid search engine to replace google is high priority for them. What are you basing that on, exactly? Apple doesn't exist in a market simply to "be" in that market. That's why they jettisoned things like their Airport routers

      Why does apple exist in a market? Say phones or laptops? Not calling you out, genuinely curious to your opinion.
