You saw that Samsung is considering ditching Google for Microsoft search on their phones?

6-12 months head start over Google in AI. Plus Google can't ship.

I did not.  But that doesn't worry me.  Regardless of what your device comes with as the default it's too easy to switch.

Interesting. Then why is Google paying Apple $8-12bn per year to be the default search on iOS?

Main difference is Bing sucks. Sucks so much it's become its own meme. So have to jump that hurdle first.  If Google is paying I'm assuming they're paying so apple doesn't developed their own.

Google is useless to me. The first page of search results is just ads, and then its pages which have been SEO'd to death.

Bing search is also bad but not quite. The full integration of Bing Chat is a real advantage.

I was not aware of this.

That is certainly much more than I thought the default on Apple would be worth.

Any idea how much MS is paying Samsung?

Maybe you're duped by the ads? The icon is very small now.
