The post says "almost 20% of Apple's profit", and you note the profit was $100B and the payment was $20B, making it 20% - is something going over my head?

- IncreasePosts 3y agoYes - all $20B isn't pure profit. It must take 25% of an engineers time to maintain the search box in safari. So lets say it is only $19,999,899,999 in profits.
- sureIy 3y agoYour math is off. They have to pay the engineers whether it’s towards Google or Microsoft. Those $20B are pure profit
- IncreasePosts 3y agoNo, if they deleted the search box and didn't need to maintain it, there would be no engineer required to maintain it.
- sureIy 3y agoMakes zero sense. No search box will ever be dropped. If it’s not Google it’s Microsoft or Apple.
