Bloomberg reports that Apple is conducting negotiations with Microsoft about bringing its search engine Bing to the iPhone. Bloomberg cites sources familiar with Apple and Microsoft's plans, and notes that the move would make Bing the default search engine on the iPhone. Google is the current default search engine in the iPhone's browser. Right now, users can choose Yahoo instead, but have to perform the switch manually. Bloomberg's sources indicate that the talks have been underway for weeks and may still fall apart before a deal is reached. Microsoft has already created a Bing application for the iPhone, and Google has a search app for the iPhone, too.

Bing is Garbage!
Bing is such garbage compared to Google! But then again, let ****ty iphone use a ****ty search provider. Way to go Apple!

Bing? Come on...
If you don't want to use Google thats fine but at least use second best which is Yahoo. What is Apple gonna do when MS releases their supposed handset in two months? Take off Bing and create their own search engine? Uh oh, let me not give them any ideas lol
I think it's because awhile back Yahoo and Microsoft signed a deal for Yahoo search to use the bing engine. So whenever that starts Yahoo search would generate bing results anyway. I prefer Google so just means you have to put it in your bookmarks or ...

Sour Grapes
Apple is totally mad that Google is cutting in to there market share. Now Apple is acting like the prom queen that got knocked up in high school. Every one wanted a piece of her until while she was hot, now that she is used up and tired everyone is deciding to move on.
I don't think Android has made a dent into iPhone sales but rather eaten WinMo. Sounds to me more like Google's the girl you date who turns out to be a crazy hobag and can't make up its mind as to what it wants.
That said Apple partnering with MS i...

Kind of bummed...
since I use the goolge search bar in Safari so much, but I still have the google app and can google.com on the phone.
It's no big deal. I'll try the Bing search bar and if I don't like it...there's an app for that 🤤
