“Apple, please, NEVER cozy up to Google again...NEVER!
Apple cozy up to Google? LOL! What does “cozy up” mean to Tim Cook?
Where have you been?...”
********************************************************************************************************
Ahh...I meant “cozy up” in the business sense only, but I suspect you knew that, didn’t you? From a business perspective, Apple’s Safari app using Google as their “default” search engine has been a huge cash cow for Google over the years. Safari users are seen by advertisers as an audience having the means and propensity to spend on product. So if a significant chunk of Google’s advertising (which is almost all of Google’s revenue) is removed by this action, it will be a significant hit on Google’s cash flow.
And, yes I understand that Apple and Google are competitors, but sometimes competitors partner in certain aspects. For example, Samsung and Apple are also competitors but that doesn’t stop Apple using Samsung to make some of its chips for the time being.
