At the heart of the government’s case was the massive payments made by Google to Apple and other companies to keep its world-leading search engine as the default on iPhones, web browsers and other products.
Court testimony revealed that these payments reach the tens of billions of dollars every year to keep its prime real estate on Apple hardware or the Safari and Mozilla browsers.
The Department of Justice lawyers argued that Google achieved and perpetuated its dominance — and strangled rivals — through these default deals that also expanded to Samsung and other device makers.
Mehta concluded, however, that Google’s violation of the Sherman Act did not have “anticompetitive effects.”
