Microsoft offered Apple several products and opportunities, including investments and acquisitions related to Bing. Mr. Cue testified that Microsoft initially proposed Apple invest in Bing, then offered to sell it, and eventually suggested giving it to Apple for free[1].
Additionally, during discussions in 2015, Microsoft proposed making Bing the default search engine in Safari, claiming that combining Apple’s search volumes with its global platform could enhance the search experience. However, Cue was skeptical about Bing's capabilities, noting that its search quality and monetization were not on par with Google's[2]. Microsoft also offered Apple Windows Mobile phones along with agreements related to Nokia and BlackBerry[3].
