Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.
Well, yeah, they hand over everything to Google when using their search engine by default. It's definitely a business for Apple.
They keep their image as privacy friendly, while taking cool cash to let others harvest the data. Stonks.
Do you have an example of this?
Yes. Apple is defaulting Google in their browsers and search in general. Google is paying Apple. Google is using the data they get when people search on Apple products.
And how does making a google search constitute “handing over everything to Google”?
Especially in your example of the default context when a user is using Safari, which has tracking protection enabled. And possibly using iCloud Relay to anonymize browsing.
By that logic FireFox and pretty much every company is in the same boat
