The deal between the two tech giants is at the heart of a landmark case, in which antitrust enforcers allege Google has illegally monopolised the market for online search and related advertising.

Alphabet Inc. paid Apple Inc. $20 billion in 2022 for Google to be the default search engine in the Safari browser, according to newly unsealed court documents in the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against Google .

Google and Apple had hoped to shield the payment amount from public disclosure. At the trial last fall, Apple executives testified that Google paid “billions,” without specifying a number. The agreement with Apple is the most important of Google’s default deals, since it sets the search engine for the most used smartphone in the US.
