I mean, yeah. You ever ask an average software “engineer” to have a constructive conversation with someone a different department? It’s a nightmare.

A small amount of Apple’s annual revenue comes from shipping iPhones with Google as the default search engine on Safari, nothing more.

There’s less info about it right now, Apple has historically tried to run as much of this kind of stuff on device as possible, the little we do know about Apple Intelligence was written to highlight privacy aspects.

Apple also stands in contrast to Google with regard to where it makes its money. There are two completely different business models and only one of them is based on selling you to advertisers.

Almost all science and logic in the history of the world is based on correlation. Discovering the causal link comes later, or more often than not never.

Your glib comment seems smart to people on the internet, but what it actually demonstrates is a complete lack of understand of both words.
