Eddy Cue is fighting to save Apple’s $20 billion paycheck from Google

“Amnesty International can be disrupted by the search,” said the Vice President of the Supreme Supreme Services at Apple Eddy Cue, but Amnesty International can disrupt Google’s dominance in the search.

Koi was returning to the courtroom in Washington, DC, where he witnessed the last time in the trial of the Ministry of Justice against the Google Research monopoly in September 2023. During the trial of the current treatments on Wednesday, Koi said that at the time since then, the well-funded Amnesty International has made important events that it had eventually disrupted travelers-maybe more effective than the court.

However, there was also to defend an important source of Apple: Google’s payments to get the default search engine mode on the Apple Safari browser.

After the trial of 2023, Judge Amit Mihat found that Google had monopolized the online search market in an illegal way, partly through agreements such as the Safari deal. Within two and a half weeks, Google and DOJ have developed Mihata on what should (or not) do to fix the problem. The Ministry of Justice says that Googy must have to share valuable search data with competitors and overcome its Chrome browser, while Google (planning to appeal the previous ruling) only wants restrictions on Mehta deals, which are an unfair exclusion. Instead of preventing its Apple deal completely, it will make Google give Apple more flexibility to sign additional virtual search agreements across its different devices or in a special browsing mode.

Koi argued on Wednesday that the rapid developments of artificial intelligence mean that the threat of fighting monopoly determined by Mehta is shrinking. For the first time in 22 years. The Ministry of Justice, which is not surprising, does not agree. It is not uncommon for technological development to outperform the slow court system, but the government says that the pace is not fast enough to fix the continuous market problem.

Apple has a lot of leather in the game here – the Ministry of Justice has previously revealed that it depends on $ 20 billion in Google payments annually. It can reduce the proposed treatments from Google, but it will also open Apple options and keep a lot of their revenue flow. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice can completely eliminate this cash flow. It seemed confusing that Apple could get a short end of the stick for a punishment that you are supposed to have attached to Google. He said that the idea that the court could decide that Google has committed something wrong, then let it save money at the Apple account, “looks crazy.”

Koi said that Google could maintain its main position in Safari without a short -term deal. “We have no choice today,” he said. Even if Apple is able to cut a new virtual deal with another company, Google is still the best service available to customers, so they may search for it – and you will not get Apple to reduce. Koi said he “lost a lot of sleep” because of the possibility of a Google deal, and warned that it would affect the Apple’s ability to create new products.

Koi also told Mihata that “I cannot say that I do not agree,” with his analysis that Apple has finished building its search engine because of a deal with Google. But he added, “We cannot do everything,” and since Google is really good in what you do, Apple prefers to focus on areas where a unique value can provide.

From artificial intelligence in the end it changes all this, my grandfather witnessed. Apple already exploring the addition of artificial intelligence search options, although it realizes that it cannot replace traditional search engines yet. “Until now, it’s not good enough,” he said.

“Good enough,” said, “Good enough” can come soon. He said that there are “much greater potentials because there are new interior they attack the problem differently.” He said that the Grand Linguistic Model Companies (LLM) has not created a strong index enough to replace Google yet, but the combination of LLM with research can allow them to use a smaller index soon.

Although it supports Google’s battle to maintain his search deals, it appears that he admits that the Ministry of Justice’s proposal to publish the Google Research Index may reach the speed of artificial intelligence competitors faster.

Grandfather warned the judge that technology does not resemble other industries, and the giants often fall even without the intervention of the court. “When I reached Silicon Valley, all the best companies, or the most successful companies, are either not present today or are much smaller and less influential,” noting companies like HP, Sun Microsystems and Intel. In the field of technology, you may not offer an anomaly the same benefits you offer in other markets. “We are not an oil company, we are not a toothpaste. These are things that will continue forever,” he said. “You may not need iPhone after 10 years from now.” Nearly four decades in Apple, Cue now sees Amnesty International as a “huge technological transformation”.

When putting himself in the judge’s shoes, I told Koy Mihata, “We are lucky, because frankly, if Amnesty International does not happen, I don’t know what you can do.” This is because, it is clearer, “so that there are really competitive products, people will continue to use better than them.”
