Google pays Apple billions of dollars each year to be the default search engine in all Safari browsers.

The new findings bring us to a consistent and precise conclusion this time: A very different search engine is coming.

What made Google one of today's giant companies was its first product with the same name, the search engine. In this regard, he has never seen a decent, long-term competitor. Google's search engine has also maintained its top position thanks to the features it has gained over the years. In addition, the company has paid billions of dollars to be the home page of the Safari browser in all operating systems of Apple, and continues to pay. However, the deal between Google and Apple could end.

The allegations that Apple has developed a search engine have flared up again with the details revealed in the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 beta versions.

Recent findings that Apple is developing a search engine:

Apple Search Engine iOS 14 Result

  • It continues to recruit engineers to be employed in search engine projects since 2015.
  • The company has stepped up its work due to official pressures.
  • In iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 betas, the results in the Spotlight search app are shown as Siri suggestions, not Google.
  • In June 2020, Apple made the following changes on its search robot Applebot support page:
    • How to verify traffic from AppleBot has been announced,
    • Details of the intermediary platform, including mobile and desktop versions, have been expanded
    • New rules on robots.txt standards on websites,
    • A statement has been added that they not only crawl HTML, but also generate results pages similar to Google.
    • A section on how search rank is determined has been added.

All this up-to-date information shows that Apple is approaching the final result in its search engine studies. However, this search engine only functions in Spotlight search for Apple devices for now. Apple can also release a web version that it supports with different features to increase the data it has and make it available to everyone.
