(Reuters) - Google Inc paid Apple Inc $1 billion in 2014 to keep its search bar on the iPhone, Bloomberg reported, citing a transcript of court proceedings related to a copyright lawsuit filed by Oracle Corp against the search giant. Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc , gives Apple a percentage of the revenue it generates through the iPhone but details of the arrangement have never been made public. In a portion of the document reviewed by Reuters, an Oracle attorney also claimed that Android had generated revenue of about $31 billion and profit of $22 billion since its release.
