Cooperative Android manufacturers only get 12 percent of search revenue

How much more does Google pay for an Apple user than an Android one? A lot. It was recently revealed in the Epic v. Google trial (Google has a few monopoly lawsuits going on) that the highest tier of search revenue share for cooperative Android OEMs is only 12 percent, a third of what Google pays Apple. In terms of total cash amount, it's reasonable to assume Apple gets more total money than many smaller companies but to see the direct breakdown that each Apple user is worth three times more than an Android user is a new insight.

I just hope Google loses the case. We need more search competition without some monetary barrier. If a small company makes a better search engine than Google, it shouldn't require them to pay Google amounts of money to be even be considered on a list.
