Google Appeals Antitrust Ruling, Argues Apple’s Default Search Was Earned

Google has appealed the 2024 antitrust ruling, contending the court erred by attributing its search dominance to non-merit factors and that Apple chose Google for sound business reasons, i.e., competition on merit. The company seeks to undo remedies like data-sharing and search-result syndication, while noting oral arguments aren’t scheduled and that broader remedies the DoJ sought were not imposed; the Apple-Google deal remains central to the case.
