Don't forget that ~5% of Apple's revenue is a payment from Google to be default search engine.

I still haven't heard anything about a privacy consent screen regarding the default Google search box.

Can't fix the whole world all at once, but Apple is not uncompromising in their privacy stance by any means.

I don’t think this is applicable. While Google is the default search, safari blocks tracking from Google like all other sites.

Now if Apple exempted Google from Adblock and cross site cookies that would be a different story.

A Google search on an iPhone and a Google search on an android produces very different data gathered by Google.

What would the privacy screen regarding the default Google search box say?
