Cupertino-based giant Apple is reportedly working on its own search engine, in a bid to compete with its biggest competitor Google, according to a report.
According to a report citing tech blogger named Robert Scoble, Apple is expected to announce the new search engine at next year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2023). The blogger predicted that Apple would launch its search engine that would take on Google. Scoble, in a series of tweets, said Apple’s search engine would become functional by January 2023 at the earliest. In a TechRadar report, Scoble said he got the information based on conversations with sources and partly on inference.

In the report, Scoble also states that WWDC 2022 which begins tonight will be “the most expensive product launch ever.” He said Apple may announce the search engine in January next year. Now, while an Apple search engine is something we’ve never heard of as such in the past. Given the penetration of Google, it will be difficult for any company to reach this level, at least in the near future. However, since Apple’s products are among the most widespread in the world, the company can easily attract millions of users by simply setting its new default search engine on all products like iPhones and MacBooks.
Apple is set to kick off its WWDC 2022 keynote from today. The company is expected to launch iOS 16, iPadOS 16, WatchOS 9, macOS 13 and other software products. Apple is rumored to be releasing realityOS, the company’s software for the highly anticipated mixed reality headset.
