Alphabet is at risk of needing to make substantial changes to its business due to regulators' antitrust lawsuits. It may be forced to give up key deals with third parties such as Apple.

Apple may no longer command the growth pace of its peers like Amazon, Alphabet, or Meta, but it enjoys a degree of market dominance that is hard to dislodge by its competitors, let alone start-ups.

One key factor that supported the antitrust finding against Alphabet was its strategy of paying other tech companies such as Apple to make Google the default search engine on their devices.
