Google: “billion and 34%” or how much is it to be a search engine for Apple

Immediately, two "major" news came to us from overseas , both related to the activities of the world's largest search engine - Google.

The hottest and hottest news that lawyers of the company tried to actively hide during the ongoing litigation between Google and Oracle (the latter argues to the court that Java was used in Android "unlicensed" and the damage costs $ 1 billion) is the fact that by the end of 2014 Google donated $ 1 billion to Apple for using the Alphabet search engine as the default search on Apple devices.

34% - this is the proportion of profits from the search featured in the agreement between the two companies, which emerged during the judicial debate of the parties. It’s not completely clear what the percentage is: Apple’s getting or staying at Google, but somehow, one-third of the revenue is quite significant.

The lawyers of both companies filed a petition to the court to exclude this figure from the published information as “hypothetical”. In a petition, Google states that this information can greatly affect current and future agreements with other companies.

Both companies declined to comment on Bloomberg for this information.

The second news, a little less intriguing, but no less large, concerns Google’s revenues from owning the Android ecosystem, its origins are similar - Oracle is trying its best to put pressure on the giant, showing the court and the public the proportions of Google’s revenues and deductions . The mouthpiece again serves as Bloomberg.

It turns out that since the launch of the mobile platform (2009), total revenues exceeded $ 31 billion, and the company's profits amounted to at least $ 22 billion.

A request to remove this information from the transcripts and records of the case was filed by Google, and supported by Apple.
