Business Insider reports that Apple is creating its own search engine. Apple's move is in response to the Department of Justice anti-trust investigation into Google. The Financial Times says that Apple now shows its own results through a search box on iPhone home screens. It's available through Apple's update to iOS 14. Google has been the iPhone's default search engine for more than 10 years. But Apple's partnership with Google is under threat from the DOJ's Anti-Trust investigation.
The EU hits Apple, Google parent firm Alphabet and Meta with the first ever probes under a mammoth digital law, which could lead to big fines against the US tech giants. Announcing the move, EU Commission executive vice-president Margrethe Vestager says that "DMA (Digital Markets Act) compliance is something that we take really seriously". Since March 7, the world's biggest tech firms have had to comply with the DMA, which aims to curb their behaviour and ensure that they give users more choice. SOUNDBITE
