During the ongoing antitrust trial against Google-parent Alphabet Inc., a Google executive revealed that the company only regained 40% of the mobile traffic it previously had on its mapping service after Apple dropped Google Maps as the default on iPhones.

The trial alleges that Google illegally maintained a monopoly by paying billions to remain the default search engine on web browsers and smartphones.
