Google has issued a public statement that disagrees with the statement by Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of Internet search and services, that Safari browser searches declined for the first time in April 2025.
He made the statement during court proceedings in the Google antitrust case. Cue said that it made sense for Apple to keep Google as its default search engine in Safari, but that at the future was AI-powered search services.
However, in a post to its blog The Keyword. Google had this to say: “We continue to see overall query growth in Search. That includes an increase in total queries coming from Apple’s devices and platforms. More generally, as we enhance Search with new features, people are seeing that Google Search is more useful for more of their queries — and they’re accessing it for new things and in new ways, whether from browsers or the Google app, using their voice or Google Lens. We’re excited to continue this innovation and look forward to sharing more at Google I/O.”
