Apple clarifies it has no plans to develop a search engine in Google monopoly case

Apple has stated it is not interested in creating its own search engine or entering the search ad market. This comes amid ongoing legal proceedings regarding Google's alleged monopoly in online search. In a recent court filing, Apple executive Eddy Cue explained that assumptions about Apple developing a search engine are incorrect. He cited concerns about diverting resources, the fast-evolving nature of the market, and a lack of necessary talent. Cue also warned that changes to Apple's agreement with Google could force Apple into unfavorable choices regarding user access to search services. A trial to discuss potential remedies for Google's monopoly is set for April.
