Google stock drops nearly 10% after Apple says it could ditch search engine as iPhone default
Briefly

Shares of Alphabet Inc. fell over 7% after Apple executive Eddie Cue indicated that the company is considering AI-driven alternatives for its Safari browser. Cue testified in an antitrust lawsuit that Apple is witnessing a decrease in searches via Safari and views AI search platforms as serious contenders, unlike traditional engines. Apple plans to integrate these AI tools into Safari but confirms that they will not be the default option immediately. Furthermore, Cue acknowledged preliminary discussions with various AI companies, indicating a structural shift in search engine dynamics.
