As you probably already know, Apple Music is one of the biggest competitors for Spotify, because the truth is that even taking into account that it took much longer to arrive, its growth rate is still quite abysmal, although the truth is that according to it the techniques they are employing are not entirely fair to them.
And, in this case, Spotify came to the App Store many years ago, and since then they have been putting several problems in between, which are increasingly difficult to solve, which is why They have decided to file a formal complaint with the European Commission, in order to be able to face Apple legally.
Spotify files formal complaint about Apple against European Commission
As we have learned, from Spotify they would have filed a full formal complaint against Apple in the European Commission, where they will have to decide whether to investigate it more deeply or not and how to remedy it. Also, what is perhaps more interesting is that from Spotify they have created a new web portal, Time to Play Fair, where they expose all the problems they have with Apple.
In this case, we see how the battle begins when those of Cupertino impose a 30% commission for developers on the App Store, something that Spotify is not willing to go through (in order to continue offering the quality of its service and not have economic losses), and they try to solve it by avoiding their payment gateway, only that each time Apple with its new forms they are making it more complicated, in the sense that prevent any type of link to third party websites, being difficult for them to offer the service they want.
However, the real problem comes in with Apple Music, because we must bear in mind that they absolutely skip all these rules, in fact we even see how have been sending notifications with advertising to users, and they offer the same price for a fairly similar service.
Now, the history in question is much longer, because in fact the Spotify team has decided to create a small timeline, where they describe all the problems and situations that they have had to face due to Apple's policies, so we invite you to take a look in case you are interested in the topic.
