In the dark, Google was stabbed gently by the IOS 4.0 system.

This is an interesting little item found by the search engine land editor Barry Schwartz. When he queued up to receive a brand new iPhone 4 carrying the IOS 4.0 system, a miracle occurred while searching for Bing, A prompt is displayed on the screen asking if you want to change the default search engine to Bing?

I used the iPhone 3g of IOS 4.0 to access bing.com and jumped to wap.bing.com of the Chinese version. This prompt was not prompted after the search. However, when I hung up the VPN and turned it into a mycountry netizen accessing bing.com, I jumped to m.bing.com. I searched for anything and the screen went like this.

The most amazing thing is that if you click "OK", the search engine in the upper-right corner of the Safari browser will immediately change from Google to bing, and you do not have to change the settings yourself, the system will automatically change it to bing. It can be seen that Bing will send a piece of code to directly modify the default search engine of safari.

The access to Yahoo is also the same. What's more, you can directly search for Yahoo without using a VPN. It seems that Yahoo is a global layout ():

When I access Google using Bing's Safari browser with the default search engine, What do you guess? Google did not respond at all (for example ), no pop-up dialog box is displayed, asking if I want to change Bing to Google -- maybe they don't know how to modify the default search engine of the IOS 4.0 operating system ~~~~

It can be seen that Microsoft's frequent visits to Apple's headquarters are not a question about adding Bing to the third available search engine in IOS 4.0, this allows users of iOS devices that are not sensitive to search engines to change the default search engine to bing, resulting in more traffic.

Google has a micro-cup this time. I wonder if they can get the secret code from apple that allows IOS 4.0 to switch the default search engine?
