The amount ranges sound right. It's not what Google is willing to/could pay for user acquisition. It's the amount competitors (Microsoft!) could pay for it if Google didn't, and that's what sets the market. And, furthermore, the sum needs to be enticing to Apple, who could also opt to give the user a sorted list of search providers on first use. Having a search default has its reputational risks, like looking cheap, biased or "sold" to Google.

Instead, I suspect they'd default to their own search engine (even if that's simply a wrapper), and maybe put the search-engine setting somewhere more prominent.
