Google still continues to pay Apple $20
00:00:03
billion a year to be the default search
00:00:05
engine in Safari. What if they didn't?
00:00:07
What would Apple do? Would iPhone users
00:00:09

to announce it and explain it at some
00:00:40
point and they could launch it and do a
00:00:41
whole thing. My point is I think it
00:00:43
would continue to be Google for quite a
