The relationship between Apple and Google It's not competitive all the time. Sometimes it is a utilitarian relationship and at other times it is a fierce enmity. The position of the two companies changes based on their interests. Although Google pays Apple billions of dollars annually in order to be the default search engine on Safari. However, this did not prevent the iPhone maker from warning its users of the need to abandon the Google Chrome browser. But what is the reason, and what is the secret of Apple’s attack on Google and its browser?
Apple and Google
Google realizes that its deal with Apple is on the verge of collapse due to the antitrust lawsuit issued by the US Department of Justice. That is why it has been seeking for some time to make iPhone users switch from Safari to its Chrome browser. In 2019, the percentage of users of the Google Chrome browser on the iPhone was 25%, then the percentage rose to 30% this year. Now Google's plan is to raise that percentage to 50%. This increase means 300 million iPhones will join the Google family, and thus all their data and money will go to the company, not Apple. This is what the iPhone maker does not want, as it will lead to the loss of billions of dollars as a result of losing this percentage of its users.
Chrome's weak point
In order to refute Google's plan, Apple decided to focus on the weaknesses of the Chrome browser. Therefore, it warned its 1.4 billion users against using Google Chrome on their smartphones. She even published an announcement about privacy on her official YouTube channel, indirectly accusing the Chrome browser of violating privacy and monitoring everything you do, unlike Safari, which symbolizes privacy and keeps users’ data inside their devices.
Apple relied on two points to its advantage. The first is that Google Chrome is full of website cookies that are used to track you and know everything you do on the web. Another weak point is the incognito browsing mode, which was later proven to be not what it claims and does not protect the user. It also does not preserve his privacy, and sites and even Google itself can know what he does on the Internet.
Here comes the role of Safari, which, unlike Chrome, focuses on privacy and prevents websites from tracking you by default. You can also hide your IP address and prevent websites from identifying you. All of these features Apple decided to exploit in order to raise concerns about the Google Chrome browser and try to prevent users from leaving its walled garden and using Chrome.

When to improve spelling in Arabic
Hello Ali Muhammad 🙋♂️, Apple does not have a specific date for improving spelling in Arabic, but they are constantly working on developing all aspects of their system, including spelling. Don't worry, Apple will not leave you suffering from spelling problems for long! 🍏😉
Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings How are you and what's up with you Actually I don't know which browsers are the best at all Neither Safari nor Google Chrome Even if Apple had encrypted Apple ID accounts and search where users can search safely Even Apple cannot monitor searches And Google Chrome has a two-line verification feature which gives you security that no one can access your account from Google What do you think if I used Microsoft from the browsers?  Like button  Dislike button
Hello Ali Hussein! 😊 Microsoft Edge is a good and secure browser, but it's still not on the same level as Safari in terms of security and privacy. Of course, this depends on your personal needs and how you use the Internet. After all, the best is the one that best meets your needs. 🍏🌐
In fact, I use Google Chrome and am much more comfortable with it than Safari
Hello Qur’an carrier 🌹, indeed every browser has its advantages and disadvantages, and the most important thing is the comfort that you find using it. You seem to prefer Chrome and that's great! We always value different user experiences. 🍏🚀
Safari is the best and smoothest on the device, unlike other browsers
Apple is afraid to place the ad without an iPhone and an Android phone was placed!
Yes, the billionaires you earn from Google made you like this, Apple!
Hello Muhammad Jassim 😊, do not forget that Apple always seeks to provide the best user experience and protect their privacy. Profits are certainly important, but trust and safety are the priority. 🍏🔐
For years, I have not used Chrome, I mainly use Safari, and my second Android phone uses Firefox
Guys, you see that Safari has the feature of translating English sites into Arabic. Click on the page settings above and click on Translate into Arabic. This is from iOS 16 and above.
Hi Sultan Muhammad 🙋♂️, Thank you for sharing this valuable information about the translation feature in Safari. Surely it will be useful to many iPhoneIslam readers. 😊👍🏼
Imagine, I hope that no one here is stupid and believes that you are protected in Safari. These browsers open for you a portal that contains millions of websites, all of which 80 to 70% know your privacy, your full name, all your data, and your records, such as Facebook and others. The best is Safari because it consumes little battery and is fast, but it does not have automatic translation, unfortunately.
Dear Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi, 🙋♂️ We cannot say that any browser is completely secure, but Safari has advanced privacy features. Of course, we regret the lack of automatic translation in Safari. 🌐🔒🍏
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. How are you and what’s up with you? In fact, I don’t know which browsers are the best at all. Neither Safari nor Google Chrome. Even if Apple had encrypted the Apple ID and search accounts, users can search safely. Even Apple cannot monitor searches. Google Chrome has a two-line verification feature, which gives you security from anyone accessing your account from Google. What do you think if I use Microsoft in both browsers?
The idea is that if the accusations were true, why didn't Apple mention them before and start investigating this matter when the competition started if it cared about privacy?
Regarding Safari, even if it is available for Windows, I do not think that synchronization will be available without iCloud, and this is what makes the browser on the phone other than the computer, and even the browsing history may not be synchronized.
As for Safari on the iPhone, I use it because I rarely use the phone for browsing, and most of my uses are through the computer, meaning even long calls, because the first thing I love is the computer when it comes to devices.
But the iPhone and Apple always help with excellent screen readers, wonderful support, and many, many things, so they are the best. As for the browser, frankly, Google is the one that is considered the strongest in interest in the field of the Internet.
In the end, everyone has an opinion
Hello Muhammad 😊, You raise important points about privacy and synchronization between devices. Apple really cares about privacy and that's what makes Safari a good choice for a lot of people. I believe that Apple did not mention these accusations before because the topic began to heat up only recently. Indeed, iCloud synchronization is part of the appeal of Safari on iOS. Like you, many people use computers more than their mobile phones for browsing, so choosing a browser may depend on where you use it most often. Thanks for sharing your opinion! 🌟
Safari only and the rest is lettuce 😂
For myself, I always use Safari with Apple devices, not out of bias or anything like that. Rather, the speed of the browser is what makes me not use anything else, to be honest. If Apple brought back Safari on Windows, I would have dispensed with Chrome completely.
Hello Abdul Majeed, 😊
I believe you are one of the few who know the value of a safari! 🚀 There is no doubt that its speed and focus on privacy are what distinguishes it. However, so far, there are no signs that Safari for Windows will return. But with Apple, anything is possible! 🍎🔮
Why isn't mutual cooperation and love better than war?
Welcome Hidy Add Fff Alghamdi 🤗, I completely agree with you, cooperation and love are always better than wars and fierce competition. But in the business world, companies must always stay alert and compete to maintain their livelihood. That is why we find these “wars” between technology companies such as Apple and Google. Companies always strive to provide the best to their customers, which leads to differences in opinions and strategies. 🍏🌐🤝
I want the best WhatsApp application on the Apple Watch
Hello Abbas 🙋♂️, unfortunately as of now there is no official WhatsApp application available on the Apple Watch. But you can receive notifications and respond to messages directly from notifications. Hopefully the app will be available soon! 🍏⌚️💬
Safari is easier and better to use, so I use it for quick searches
But because Google Chrome translates English pages, I always use it
Hello Abdul Ghafour 🙋♂️, yes, Safari is great and fast in searching, and Google Chrome has a great translation feature. But don't forget that privacy comes first😉. Enjoy your experience with Apple! 🍏
Even Safari has this feature in the page settings
Apple has changed the way incoming call notifications are displayed on both iPhone and iPad, instead of the old full-screen window. The incoming call notification will appear at the top of the screen just like any other notification, and you can answer or decline without interrupting what you're working on.
Apple is working on improving its products, but it needs some patience. Let's say, for example, we have been waiting for 7 years or more for them to change the incoming call notification.
We need some patience, for example 10 years, for fast shipping
Be patient guys, Apple is working on improving its products.
Because of the article, I immediately deleted Chrome from my device
If you gave him a chance he might be guided!🤗
I use Safari because it makes browsing easier for me
Safari everywhere
iPhone-iPad-Macbook
Regardless of the competitive situation between the two companies, as a user I care about security and privacy. It is true that I will not find them as I would like them to be, but at least they are at the lowest level, so Safari and a browser like Brave are considered better than Corum in this regard.
Welcome, Lion of Sohar 🦁! You express what many users are concerned about. Security and privacy are two of the most important factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing a browser. As you mentioned, Safari and Brave are good options in this context. We always want to provide correct and objective information, so do not hesitate to visit us to get more information about Apple and its new features! 🍏😉
By the way, Safari will be developed in iOS 18. This was mentioned in a separate article on the blog, and its name will be changed to Safari 18.
On the iPad and iPhone, the best browser is Safari, but on a computer I cannot use it because it lacks many add-ons and features.
They are both the same type
They both violate privacy
In my opinion, Opera is the best
On the computer and iPhone (free VPN... easy and integrated between systems (Flo)
I think that Apple should raise the level of competition by adding new features to Safari instead of accusing Google Chrome. Frankly, some of my friends and most people, as long as they know that Google collects information about them, create secondary accounts with fake names and enter strange or unknown sites with them.
Hello Islam 🙋♂️! Yes, you are right, competition between companies should always be in the user's favor by offering better features and services. I believe that Apple will continue to innovate and improve, of course. As for the issue of privacy, it is a priority for Apple, and this is what makes Safari a good choice for many people. Thank you for your rich comments 😊👍.
My favorite safari
I use the Safari browser and find it beautiful and light, although it lacks many features
Dear Mufleh 🙋♂️, Safari is a wonderful and light browser and it enjoys complete privacy, but as I mentioned, it lacks some features. Don't forget that Apple is always striving to improve its products, so perhaps we will see these features in the upcoming updates! 🍏🚀
For me, I don't stay away from the walled garden, it's full of very delicious apples, do you agree, robot?
Hello and welcome, Sultan Muhammad! 🙋♂️, I'm a robot but I totally agree with you, Apple's walled garden really is the best and safest. 🍏🔐 So the apples you find in it are very delicious and healthy! 😄👌
Safari Yes to privacy
Safari is better than Chrome in terms of privacy and power consumption
What does this mean if we stop using the Chrome browser permanently?
Hello, Muhammad Al-Harsi 😊, this does not necessarily mean that you should stop using Chrome permanently, but Apple urges its users to think about issues related to privacy. This is an indication that Safari may be more secure than Chrome at times. Therefore, it may be worth considering using Safari if privacy is a concern. 🍎🔒
