Applebot has been about for 5 years. It's used for Siri and Spotlight Suggestions.

This might be bigger for IM than a G update.

I wonder if they will get at least 2% of the market.

If the current search trend (big brands) is all Google has to offer, Apple can easily switch all their search to their internal one and nobody will notice.

Watching all of these companies butt heads with one another has been awesome. An easily interfaceable search engine with incredibly cheap ads would be a great way to pull some of the market share from google.

Whoah.

Apple now receives an estimated $8 billion to $12 billion in annual payments - up from $1 billion a year in 2014 — in exchange for building Google’s search engine into its products. It is probably the single biggest payment that Google makes to anyone and accounts for 14 to 21 percent of Apple’s annual profits.

Google is asking for competition. They became egoistic and arrogant. Time for them to be jealous too.

They might consider making their search the default search engine on all their devices.

That will definitely provide them more than 2% market share

Plot twist: Some bot maker did a sick joke.

But yeah, I have been hearing about the rumour too that Apple is gonna kick google's ass very soon. New opportunity for the IMers, excited.
