There are many other Search Engines such as Yahoo, Bing, Baidu but Google has been widely adopted in the world, also because of it’s efficiency and features.
Apple has been using Google search as the default search engine for a long time. They opted for Google as they always thought it was the best and they wanted best for their customers too.
