APPLE JOINS GOOGLE ANTITRUST FIGHT TO PROTECT $20B SEARCH PARTNERSHIP

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple is seeking to intervene in Google's US antitrust trial over online search, saying that Google can no longer adequately represent its interests in the case. The company has concerns over its multi-billion dollar revenue-sharing agreement with Google. Apple received an estimated $20 billion from Google in 2022 for making Google the default search engine on Safari. The trial could potentially force Google to divest its Chrome browser or Android operating system to restore competition in the online search market.
