Investing.com — Apple (NASDAQ:) has expressed interest in participating in Google’s (NASDAQ:) upcoming U.S. antitrust case regarding online search, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
The tech giant said it could not rely on Google to honor its revenue-sharing deal, which earns Apple billions of dollars a year, according to the report.
These agreements are based on Apple’s decision to make Google the primary search engine for its Safari browser.
Apple’s legal team acknowledged Monday that the company has no intention of developing its own search engine to rival Google, regardless of whether these payments continue.
In 2022, the agreement between Apple and Google reportedly brings in an estimated $20 billion.
According to the report, Apple is keen to present witnesses to testify at the trial scheduled for April.
Prosecutors in the case also say Google will need to make several changes to restore competition in the online search space, including selling off its Chrome web browser and possibly its Android operating system. He added that he is expected to make the claim.
