Not if you start from scratch...do you really want Google in your life that much?
I don't. I really, really don't. Google scares the living hell out of me.
Yahoo Weather is always wrong where I live, sometimes 10 degrees (C) off. They don't seem to do things particularly well so I think google should stay default search engine for the time being.
After a rocky start, I'd say perfectly fine.
Yahoo actually beat Google for the past 6 months in a row for overall search traffic. I think last month was the only month that Google beat Yahoo again by a fraction!
Here is just one article, but you can search for traffic results.

The Google empire needs to be taught a lesson!

Yahoo are bleeding money and regardless of these internal projects they cannot compete with Google. I don't use Yahoo as a default search engine and I certainly don't want them on my iPhone or iPad!
If Apple did this it would be a bad move for consumers, if so then what, Mac default engine?
Yahoo! weather data comes from The Weather Channel - an equally unfocused, has-been company.
After a rocky start, I'd say perfectly fine.
Only Apple knows but I'd bet the majority of iOS users use Apple Maps. I know I do - they generally get me where I'm going and are easy to use. I drive places so the other stuff (transit and walking) are not priorities for me. Traffic is also quite good too.

As AllThingsD notes, traffic from mobile phones -- an increasingly popular device for surfing the web -- is not included in this batch of data.
I thought Bing was the default on iOS now. Which powers Yahoo search anyway. So there'd be no difference.
Yahoo can build a very different product on top of the Bing engine, so that's untrue that there would be no difference.
Yahoo Search, originally referred to as Yahoo provided Search interface, would send queries to a searchable index of pages supplemented with its directory of sites. The results were presented to the user under the Yahoo brand. Originally, none of the actual web crawling and storage/retrieval of data was done by Yahoo itself. In 2001, the searchable index was powered by Inktomi and later was powered by Google until 2004, when Yahoo Search became independent.
On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo announced a deal in which Bing would power Yahoo Search.[3]
