I agree, Apple is not an advertising company, and free search engines business model seems to be ad related

The current agreement in a way puts Apple at the mercy of Google.

DuckDuckGo (with a better name and more polish) could be an Apple product. It wouldn’t be that expensive to buy and they don’t need to put as much ads on it as Google does, they only need 30% of income to make as much as they make now.

I wouldn’t be surprised by such a move.

DDG is dependent on Bing, it also uses Yandex and a few other smaller players.
