GOOGLE SAYS MICROSOFT OFFERED TO SELL BING TO APPLE IN 2018, BUT SEARCH-QUALITY ISSUES GOT IN THE WAY (3 MINUTE READ) [6]

create a product comparable to Google's. Google's case centers over

previously testified that he has focused every year of his tenure as
CEO to see if Apple would be open to a default search arrangement for
Bing.
