"We are not entered in the search market, and they are – on the market phones – the newspaper quoted Jobs. – Do not be fooled: Google wants to destroy the iPhone. But we will not allow them to do it. "

The newspaper recalls the period when Google CEO Eric Schmidt has served on the Board of Directors of Apple. Then, the article says, the relationship between Jobs and Schmidt were "well-meaning, but the close friends they never were. Relationship between the companies deteriorated sharply with the advent of Android. Then there were several meetings with the heads of both companies, and the atmosphere they have been far from friendly. For example, in 2008 in the office of Google Jobs sharply curled its leaders that if the Android-phones will be multi-sensory input, he immediately sue. What is known, recently happened: Apple sued for HTC, and although Google's claim is not explicitly called, it produces a smart phone HTC Google Nexus One, and the lion's share of other devices on the Android.

Now there are rumors that Apple is in talks with Microsoft about installing Bing search engine on the iPhone by default instead of Google.

After all, to force Apple to make peace with Microsoft, though tactically, should be a very good reason.
