I don't understand why this is news. From what I'm understanding, absolutely nothing about their agreement is changing - the reason why Google will have to pay so much is because the pricing is based on the number of devices sold.

If Google pays 1$ for every device, and makes roughly $1.10 in revenue for every device their search engine is on, then when Apple sells 10 devices, Google will pay $10 and gain $11.00. When Apple sells 1B devices, Google pays $1B and gains $1.1B.

So what about this isn't normal?
