Google to be Continued as a Default Search Engine on iPhone

A rumor has been roaming around telling us that Google will be replaced by Bing as default search engine on the iDevices. We knew it won’t be a good step for Apple. Now we know Apple is not taking this step as for now.

In an interview with AllThingsDigital yesterday at Computex China, Steve Jobs told that Google decided to compete with Apple by getting into the smartphone business. Apple has no plans for going into search business.

Here’s Steve’s discussion about Google during the interview:

Kara: How do you look at Google as a competitor, and how do you feel about them? What happened there?
Steve: Well they decided to compete with us. We didn’t go into the search business!
Walt: So you just woke up one morning and heard about Android?
Steve: Kinda.
Walt: So do you feel betrayed?
Steve: My sex life is pretty good.
Wha?! Huge laughs.
Walt: How’s your relationship?
Kara: Don’t ask.
Kara: Are you going to remove them from the iPhone?
Steve: No…. We want to make better products then them. What I love about the marketplace is that we do our products, we tell people about them, and if they like them, we get to come to work tomorrow. It’s not like that in enterprise… the people who make those decisions are sometimes confused.

So it’s kind of confirmed that Apple won’t be removing Google as a default search engine from iDevices. How’d they? They have all the popular apps powered by Google either it be maps, youtube or search. And this is one of the rare times when Steve Jobs told the world about a company policy. They rather keep their stuff secret, even if some one kills himself over that.
