"EU Antitrust Crackdown: Apple's Pricing Dispute with Spotify"
TL;DR Summary
Spotify plans to display pricing information for its Premium subscriptions within its iOS app in the EU, following the European Commission's ruling against Apple's anti-steering rules. If approved by Apple, the update will allow users to view subscription prices and features, with links to purchase on Spotify's website. This move comes after the European Commission fined Apple for "abusing its dominant position" and ordered it to remove anti-steering provisions for music streaming apps. Apple has stated its intention to appeal the decision and accused Spotify of attempting to "rewrite the rules of the App Store."
