WASHINGTON -Apple and other smartphone makers turned down revenue-sharing agreements that would have helped Microsoft's Bing search engine and instead kept Google as the default search engine, a Microsoft executive testified on Thursday.

Jonathan Tinter, a Microsoft vice president whose job has been to help Bing grow, testified at the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust trial against Alphabet's Google in U.S. District Court in Washington.
