Google Exec's 2007 Emails Raise Antitrust Concerns Over Apple Deal

In 2007, Pichai emailed Page and Brin expressing concern about the deal with Apple having bad "optics" since Safari only offered Google search.

The DOJ's antitrust case against Google cites these emails as evidence of anticompetitive behavior.

Pichai suggested Apple should also offer Yahoo search to give users a choice.

The DOJ alleges Google pays billions to Apple and others to be the default search option, restricting competition.

Google's VP Braddi testified the revenue share with Apple is meaningful, but couldn't quantify the impact.
