Reporting from inside court
An email exchange between executives at Google and Apple is presented as evidence. In it, Google says "No default placement - no revenue share."
Dintzer says the email demonstrates this is Google saying 'take it or leave it'.
"Google began weaponising defaults in 2007. Default homepage can be a powerful strategic weapon in the search battle," Dintzer says.
He says Google is the only pre-installed search engine on Apple devices.
