The Goldman Sachs analyst Ron Hall declared in their new research that Google is inclined to keep its browser as default search engine on Apple’s Safari.

This year Google is paying $9 billion to Apple to secure the default browsing rights across Apple’s platform. Google estimated that the investment of $9 billion would yield a revenue of amount $12 billion next year.

Google has been paying Apple for many years. The purpose of paying such an unusual amount is to attain quality traffic and tremendous searches.

Analyst’s researches and reports cracked this news, while these two companies never disclosed such contracts on public platforms. Reports predicting estimated amounts appear every year. The noteworthy point is that the current predicted amount is three times higher than last year’s estimated amount.

Rendering to March 2017 figures, nearly 700 million iPhones were operational across the world. It means that Google is paying $12.85 for each iPhone to reserve the default browsing status. Apple recently declared that currently, 2 million iDevices, including iPad, are functional worldwide; only some use Safari browsing that simultaneously lowers down the price per device.

However, if the Hall research report is authentic, it is a substantial revenue chunk for Apple.

Google considers the iPhone its best source of optimized traffic. According to Google, they can target the potential market via iPhone browsing results because they significantly manage to hit the right data for the proper advertisement.

Google is leveraging its business by placing advertisements based on user data. To ensure business model retention, the company is ready to make a hefty investment.

Google knows that signing off a contract with Apple not only provides optimal traffic, in fact, but it also ensures the abundant supply of potential data for ads and many other things.

Also read: Google is working tirelessly to compress Android apps.

Apple prefers Google for default browsing. That’s why they integrated the Google search engine with Safari. Google is always appreciated because of its storage management. Apple services are increasing, which has led the company to provide browser rights to Google for their devices.

But the question here is: would Google be able to meet the desired revenue goal against this investment?
