Here’s what you should know<\/a><\/p>\n The report further notes that Microsoft executives even met with Apple services chief Eddy Cue and discussed the possibility of Apple acquiring Bing. \u00a0Cue has been responsible for stitching together Apple’s current deal with Alphabet which makes Google the default search engine on all Apple devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, the report notes that talks between Apple and Microsoft were exploratory and they never reached an advanced stage. It also noted that money generated by Apple on the deal with Google could be one of the reasons for the Cupertino-based company for declining to acquire bing. Apple reportedly also had doubts if Bing could compete with Google in quality and features.<\/p>\n Google was first used as the default search engine in Apple’s Safari browser back in 2002 and since then the deal has been revised many times. According to US Department of Justice data quoted by Bloomberg, Apple collected around $4 billion to $7 billion from the agreement between two companies by 2020.<\/p>\n Also Read| Apple defends decision to set Google as default search engine on iPhones, Macs, says \u2018no viable alternative\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Notably, Apple had used Bing as the default web search engine inside Siri and Spotlight between 2013 and 2017 before going back to Google with an updated revenue-sharing agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n Recently, Microsoft’s advertising and web services chief, Mikhail Parakhin testified during the Google antitrust trial that Apple never seriously considered switching to Bing as the default search engine for iPhones.
