In the wake of the EU imposing a significant $2.7 billion CAD fine on Apple in response to Spotify\u2019s concerns about App Store regulations, Spotify is now facing challenges with crucial app updates. Here\u2019s what\u2019s happening:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Spotify attempted to bypass Apple\u2019s payment system by including subscription pricing details directly in its app following an EU directive.
\n\u2013 Despite submitting an update for the EU version of its app on March 5th that included direct links to its website, Spotify has not received any response from Apple.
\n\u2013 The music streaming giant believes Apple\u2019s silence indicates a deliberate delay in compliance, possibly to avoid regulatory requirements.
\n\u2013 A Spotify spokesperson expressed worries about Apple\u2019s delayed response, highlighting discrepancies between Apple\u2019s review times and the European Commission\u2019s timeline.<\/p>\n
Apple reacted to the EU fine by announcing an appeal and emphasizing the value it provides to Spotify without charge. This includes their claim of reviewing and approving 421 versions of the Spotify app promptly.<\/p>\n
Although this situation is separate from the EU\u2019s Digital Markets Act targeting major tech platforms, Apple\u2019s actions have already attracted EU attention. Previously, Apple faced scrutiny for revoking Epic Games\u2019 developer license over DMA compliance concerns but ultimately reinstated it after intervention from the European Commission.<\/p>\n
