Show Notes

  • 01:59
    Apple's involvement in search
    Apple has been involved in search for a considerable time, just like many other companies, including Amazon. While their search experiences are verticalized and they don't hold the same market share as Google, they are indeed players in the search domain.
  • 03:09
    Apple's potential entry into traditional search
    With the evolution of AI technologies and their substantial resources, its plausible that Apple could enter the conventional text-based search experience. They have the money and time to offer a search experience that rivals Google's, though their decision to pursue this remains uncertain.
  • 05:16
    Apple's strategic partnership with Google in search
    Apples representatives in the Google antitrust lawsuit said that they chose Google over Bing based on the assessment that Google was the better alternative. Beyond that, its unlikely that Apple will be building its own search engine due to the cost and difficulty today.
  • 07:34
    AIs threat to Googles search dominance
    Googles search dominance will be challenged by the emergence of numerous AI search companies. The competition won't stem from a single tech giant or startup but from the collective innovation in different verticals leveraging AI to offer superior search experiences.
  • 09:36
    The evolving search experience
    The way people search for information is evolving beyond traditional text-based search engines to social, UGC-based search experiences. People are increasingly using social platforms like Pinterest to discover and find creative and artistic products or experiences.
  • 10:23
    The future of search and personalized recommendations
    Google's model of aggregating search results from various sources may not be sustainable in the long term. Future trends suggest consumers will seek personalized recommendations from specialized devices, potentially reducing reliance on traditional search engines like Google.
  • 11:13
    Apples incentive to build its own search engine
    Theres little incentive for Apple to develop its own search engine. It isnt clear how it would benefit Apple and the company as a whole, and the monumental effort required to build a search engine doesnt seem justifiable

  • "I think the conventional text-based search experience is a very plausible thing for Apple now with the onset of a lot of the AI technologies that we've seen in the last 12 months." - Jordan Koene

  • "I wouldn't put too much merit in the concept of Apple wanting to build their own search engine. Building search engines costs billions of dollars in today's world and ecosystems." - Jordan Koene
