Anti-monopoly authorities in the US — and in the EU! — would never allow Apple to buy the only other company with a mobile OS, not to mention the most popular browser and 90% of the search market.

Also: I may be proved wrong, but I don’t think ChatGPT will have the effect on search that the iPhone had on mobile phones; and, in any case, Google is getting ready with Bard. My bet is that Google will be one of the world’s 5 largest companies even 5 years from now.
