Apple’s senior vice president for Services Eddie said that Microsoft’s Bing or Dick Dickgo would probably not interfere with Google’s dominance.
Qi Washington, a DC room, was returning to court where he testified for the last time in the hearing of the Justice Department of Justice against Google’s search monopoly in September 2023. During the current treatment on Wednesday, Qi said that after that, well-financing genocide has made significant progress that can be more effectively influenced by that.
However, Qi also had to defend an important source of Apple’s income: Apple’s Safari browser offered a payment that Google offered for default search engine placement.
After the trial of 2023, Judge Amit Mehta found out that Google illegally made the online search market monopolized, a part of it through contracts like Safari Deal. For the past two and a half weeks, Google and the DOJ have (or should not be) to solve this problem. The DOJ says Google should be forced to share valuable search data with its Chrome browser and remove its Chrome browser, while Google (who intends to appeal the previous decision) only wants restrictions on the deal that was unfairly excluded. And instead of leaving its Apple Dell completely, it will make Google Give Apple more flexibility To sign the additional default search contracts in various devices or in private browsing mode.
Qi argued on Wednesday that rapid AI progress means that the risk of distrust has been identified, which has been identified. For the first time in 22 years, Qi said, Apple saw a decrease in search volume in its Safari browser last month – a side effect of users who received more information from AI chat boats. Dodge, surprisingly, does not agree. For technical development, it is not uncommon for the judicial system to move forward, but the government says the pace is not so fast to solve the permanent problem of the market.
Apple is very soon in the game – the DOJ had previously revealed that Google pays $ 20 billion annually. Google’s proposed treatment can be reduced, but they will also open Apple’s options and protect most of its revenue flow. In the meantime, the DOJ can completely eliminate this cash flow. Qi was surprised that Apple could have a short end of a stick for Google punishment. The idea that the court decided that Google had done something wrong and then allowed it to save money at Apple’s expenses, he said, “Just find me crazy.”
Google can hold its own prime safari placement in a short period of time, Qi said. He testified, “We really have no choice today.” Even if Apple can contract a new default deal with another company, Google is still the best service available to consumers, so they will probably find it – and Apple will not be deducted. Ki said he “lost a lot of sleep” at the possibility of losing Google Dell, and warned that it would affect Apple’s ability to create a new product.
Qi also told Mehta that he could not say “I do not agree” with his analysis that Apple has been refused to build his search engine because of an agreement with Google. But, he added, “We can’t do all”, and since Google is really good, Apple prefers to focus on areas where it can offer unique value.
“There is much bigger capacity because there are newcomers who are attacking the problem differently.”
Qi testified. Apple is already looking to add AI search options, though it recognizes that they cannot change traditional search engines yet. “To date, they are not good enough,” he said.
Cu said “enough” can come soon after it is expected. He said, “There is much bigger potential because there are newcomers coming here. He said that the big language model (LLM) AI companies have not yet made the Enough of Google replacement, but they are soon using a small index by linking LLM.
Although he is backing Google’s fight to maintain his search deals, it acknowledged that the proposal to synd with the DOJ’s Google search index could faster AI’s rivals.
Qi warned the judge that the tech is not like other industries, and the giants often fall without judicial intervention. Referring to companies like HP, Sun Micro System and Intel, Qi said, “When I am not present today Silicon Valley, all the best companies, or the most successful companies, are not present today or significantly smaller and less effective.” In the field of technology, being current, they cannot offer the same benefits in other markets they do in other markets. “We are not an oil company, we are not toothpaste,” he said. These are the things that will last forever. ” “You won’t need an iPhone 10 years from now.” After almost four decades in Apple, Qi now sees AI as a “huge technical change”.
Putting himself into the judge’s shoes, Qi told Mehta, “We are lucky, because honestly, if AI did not come, I do not know what you can do.” The reason for this is, he explained, “Unless there is really competitive products, people will continue to use the best.”
