Google’s biggest existential risk is Apple changes the default search engine. As long as Google Search and apps are deeply wired into iOS Google isn’t much worse off when people defect from Android. But if Apple goes their own way with search (they’ve started taking baby steps), decides to take Microsoft’s money for default placement (more likely now that Bing isn’t dogshit), or is forbidden by the DOJ to take payouts (highly likely), Google is in a world of hurt.
