Thank goodness. Them spinning that out would have been a nightmare. Bad day to be Apple.

Edit: I just checked the stock, I had no idea people priced in a split with that much certainty.

Why would it be bad for Apple? They get to keep the billions/year flowing in exchange for Google Search being the default on iOS devices. Google just can't pay to be the only search engine on iOS (but they have never done that afaik).

AAPL up 3%+ after hours.
