According to Business Week Apple is considering making Bing the default search engine for the iPhone. The speculated change comes amidst an ever heating rivalry between Apple and Google. Now that Google is in the mobile smart-phone race with the Nexus One, Apple is said to be knocking on Microsoft’s door.
Bing would greatly benefit from being the iPhone’s default search engine in market share, but would Google suffer? Probably not too much. Maybe this is a win-win for every one.
Bing may just be a band-aid as there are rumors of a search engine from Apple. Techcrunch talked about it back in 2008. With Google CEO Eric Schmidt off Apple’s board, there is little stopping them from the venture.
