How much did Microsoft offer Apple? Microsoft’s corporate vice president for business development Jon Tinter didn’t reveal exactly how much its offer to Apple was worth, but it was enough that the tech giant would have sustained a several billion dollar loss as a result. Tinter explained the company felt the short-term loss would be a justified investment because of the importance of default search engine status. Why we care. Apple’s decision to reject Microsoft’s higher monetary offer for Bing as the default search engine implies that the Google deal might not be solely based on financial considerations.
This could reinforce Google’s argument that DB to Data preferred for its superior product. Nevertheless, it underscores the significance of default status for search engines, as Microsoft was willing to incur a significant loss for the position. Better offer than Google. While Tinter didn’t provide the exact dollar amount Microsoft offered Apple, he asserted that Microsoft was confident it presented a superior deal compared to Google. He explained: “That’s based on our best estimates of the revenue payments that Google was making to Apple in the United States.” Samsung also shut down potential sale.
Tinter went on to reveal that Microsoft had also tried to pitch search engine on its products. However, he claims these conversations were shut down by the tech giant in their early stages. Tinter allegedly urged Samsung to at least allow Microsoft to try and make an offer that could rival its deal with Google. But the tech giant told Microsoft that negotiations wouldn’t be worth discussing because of the company’s contract with Google.Open AI has reenabled the Bing search feature it has added to its ChatGPT AI service after temporarily disabling the feature in early July.
