Will Google pay $1 billion to keep Bing from being the default iOS search engine?

Microsoft and Windows Phone could be a threat to Apple and the iPhone.....why would you use their search engine?
I know Google owns Android, but they are already established and competitive.....Microsoft isn't. So wouldn't it be in Apple's best interests to have the least amount of competitors?

There are much more factors than that though e.g. Apple desperately want MS Office to be available for the iPad, so MS could use this as a bargaining tool.

OT: I hope MS pays up and Bing becomes the default iOS search engine. I already use Bing as the search engine on my iPhone 5

I think MS should keep Office only for Windows phones, cause its a big selling point for the Windows OS.
