But, it may change with its OS rival said to be entering the battlefield.Google also pays Apple to remain the default search engine on its platform. But, the deal has already come under the scanner of public authorities. The UK regulators had also taken notice of the Apple-Google search engine deal earlier this year. UK Competition and Markets Authority had said that the agreement between the two tech giants creates a considerable barrier to entry and expansionfor Google’s search engine rivals. Many state that it might have also prompted the iPhone manufacturer to step aside and develop its own search engine. Additionally, while world’s most smartphones run on Google’s popular Android operating system, Apple single-handedly competes with its iOS.

Thereby, it will definitely be a significant threat to Google’s monopoly in the search space and may eventually lead to a loss in its advertisement revenues.
