Google's agreements with Apple and other companies to be the default search engine were deemed anticompetitive by Judge Amit Mehta, labeling Google as a monopolist violating the Sherman Act Section 2.
Apple, although not a defendant, was a crucial aspect of the antitrust case against Google due to the multibillion-dollar deal to have Google as the default search engine on Apple devices.
Judge Mehta's ruling poses a significant threat to Apple's revenue stream as it heavily relies on Google payments, potentially impacting Apple's Services revenue that reached $24.2 billion in fiscal Q3 2024.
