Google's annual payment to Apple, estimated at over $20 billion per year, for Google to be the default search engine in Safari is likely to be banned as part of an antitrust case. The Department of Justice has asked for the ban to last ten years. Google accepts that its deal with Apple will likely be ended, but argues this should only be for three years. The company suggests that more flexibility could enable other search services to compete, and made a bizarre suggestion that iPhones and iPads could each have different default search engines.
