Sundar Pichai on why Google pays Apple billions of dollars but less money to Samsung

Google is fighting multiple high-profile legal battles in the US. There’s the case with US Department of Justice on antitrust issues which has seen high-profile witnesses, including CEO Sundar Pichai and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. There’s also the legal dispute against Epic Games, creator of Fortnite. Pichai was called to testify in the case against Epic Games and confirmed a fact that emerged in the other case. It was revealed in the Google vs US DOJ case that the company pays 36% of its search revenue to Apple. Pichai was asked whether the number was accurate. “That’s correct,” Pichai told the court.
