The clarity on the figure was received as part of Oracles long-running copyright lawsuit against Google.
It was not immediately clear if the percentage reflects the share Google keeps or pays to Apple.
Google lawyers reportedly attempted to have the witness statement regarding the 34 percent share struck off the court transcript.
This request was denied by the judge presiding over the trial.
Apple too has reportedly requested the same in a separate filing.
Both Apple and Google have always treated this information as extremely confidential.
Both the companys request was presumably granted later, as Bloomberg says the transcript is no longer available.
Besides throwing light on a very sensitive deal, the disclosure is interesting because it shows two things.
Theyre gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it.
We think thats wrong.
And its not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.
Oracle claims that the search engine company used its Java software without paying for it to develop Android.
