Apple’s senior vice president of services, Eddy Cue, is set to testify in the ongoing trial where the US Department of Justice accuses Google of monopolizing online search through licensing agreements. The focus of the scrutiny is a deal in which Google pays Apple billions of dollars to be the default search engine on the iPhone’s browser. Cue is expected to testify that Apple chose Google as the default search engine because it was the best product available. He will also highlight that Apple has revenue-sharing agreements with competing search engines and that users can change their default search engines. The trial will shed light on the secretive deal between Apple and Google, which involves significant costs for Google and contributes to Apple’s profits. The trial is expected to last 10 weeks and is the largest technology monopoly case since the Microsoft trial over 20 years ago.
