As part of the Senate Judiciary hearings today, former Former FTC Official (and new Google employee) Suzanne Michel, testified under oath today that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all bid to become the default search engine on iOS’s Mobile Safari Web Browser. As we know, Google won, and as we can infer, Apple get’s some revenue from Google for making it its default search engine. As we know from Apple being Apple, the quality of the Search was probably as big a part of the decision as the small bits of revenue.
But as part of the testimony, Michel said briefly (before she was cut off) that 2/3rds of mobile search comes from Apple iOS devices. That’s pretty interesting considering the share of Android devices in the market.
