Google Appeals Antitrust Ruling, Says Apple Chose Its Search Engine 'Fair and Square'

Google has appealed a U.S. antitrust ruling over its default search deal with Apple on iPhones.

It argues Apple voluntarily chose Google Search through competition, not coercion or unlawful conduct.

Google is also challenging remedies that would require search data sharing and restrict future search agreements.

The outcome could affect Google’s search business, payments to Apple, and access for rivals and AI firms.
