App maker accuses Cupertino of defying EU rules
Spotify claims Apple rejected an update to the popular music streaming app that would have informed users about purchase methods outside of the Apple ecosystem.
"From now on, Apple will have to allow music streaming developers to communicate freely with their own users, be it within the app, or by email, or any other way of communicating," EC executive vice-president Margrethe Vestagersimilarly requires Apple to allow third-party app stores on the iPhone and to free devs from the usual 30 percent commission fee if they use a third-party payment method..
Having not heard back from Apple on whether its app update would be pushed through, Spotify said it then decided to submit a new update yesterday which merely informed users they could purchase a subscription through its own website, this time with no link. This is the"bare minimum" that the company is allowed to do per the EC's ruling, according to Spotify.
"Apple has once again defied the European Commission's decision, rejecting our update for attempting to communicate with customers about our prices unless we pay Apple a new tax," a Spotify spokesperson stated to the media."Their disregard for consumers and developers is matched only by their disdain for the law."
