I've always had the sense that Google was really bad at negotiating.
- repelsteeltje 3y agoClose enough to the regular 30% Apple tax. Plus a 6% cherry on top — because Google has enough to spend; especially since search is their core business.
- hightrix 3y agoAds are their core business today. Search is only there to serve more ads. Google stopped being a search company when they bought/merged with double click. Google without ads is an unprofitable company that constantly makes bad technology bets and cancels projects more often than they release anything useful.

- d3w4s9 3y agoYou are dreaming and there is no way that will happen.
- sdwr 3y agoGoes along with the "don't be evil" mantra. They started as pure tech and found a money geyser, no reason to upset the applecart when they're already making out like bandits.
- msoad 3y agoiPhone users won’t change anything if their “googling” experience is not powered by Google
- majani 3y agoThey're making money hand over fist right now, and they still have startup-esque growth rates, so they don't need to be tough negotiators. When Google's revenue and growth flattens, you'll see the toughness come in
- jakobson14 3y agoIt's not a negotiation. It's google paying whatever sky-high sum apple demands, because google and their shitty search engine are toast the moment it's no longer the default.
