Google paid Apple $1 billion in 2014 to keep its search bar on the iPhone, reports Bloomberg. In addition, Google has an agreement with Apple to give the company a percentage of revenue generated through Apple devices. The deal was revealed in the court proceedings of Oracle’s copyright lawsuit against Google. The revenue-sharing agreement reveals the lengths Google must go to keep people using its search tool on mobile devices. It also shows how Apple benefits financially from Google’s advertising-based business model that Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has criticized as an intrusion of privacy.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
