TECH - Spotify Vs. Apple Heads Back To EU Regulator's Court After iPhone Maker Keeps Blocking In-App Pricing Information Updates | Benzinga
Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) is intensifying its legal battle with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the European Union, with the European Commission now considering a second investigation into Apple’s new music streaming app policy.
What Happened: Spotify has been making changes to its app, such as displaying pricing information in-app for EU users, to comply with the European Commission’s antitrust ruling against Apple, reported The Verge.
The Commission fined Apple $1.95 billion in March for anti-steering rules that hindered competition and consumer choice.
Apple responded by introducing a new entitlement program, which would allow music streaming apps to include external links to purchases but with a 27% commission.
