Well, yeah, they hand over everything to Google when using their search engine by default. It's definitely a business for Apple.

They keep their image as privacy friendly, while taking cool cash to let others harvest the data. Stonks.

Yes. Apple is defaulting Google in their browsers and search in general. Google is paying Apple. Google is using the data they get when people search on Apple products.
