Apple Rejects Spotify's Latest EU App Update

Apple's rejection of Spotify's app update underscores ongoing tensions over EU digital market regulations.

Apple has rejected Spotify's latest iOS app update, which included pricing information for EU users, citing non-compliance with new EU terms.
Spotify accuses Apple of imposing a 'new tax' by requiring a 27% commission on in-app links, which Spotify chose not to include.
The European Commission is assessing Apple's compliance with its rulings, following a recent €1.84 billion fine for anticompetitive practices.
Apple insists that Spotify must adhere to its Music Streaming Services Entitlement for the update to be approved.
The dispute highlights broader issues of market control and developer freedom in the EU's digital marketplace.
