Spotify has remained locked in a legal battle over Apple’s App Store policies for years, but it may be closer than ever to getting a resolution in the European Union.
Over the past couple of months, Spotify has been submitting update after update to Apple, changing the interface of its music streaming service to display pricing information in-app for users in the European Union. For users, this is barely worth noticing. But for Spotify, each submission has been yet another skirmish in its yearslong legal struggle with Apple in the EU. And right now, Spotify is the closest it’s ever been to getting Apple to finally cave.
To get around that fee, Spotify submitted another version of its app for EU customers weeks later. This time, it only had basic pricing information instead of links to the streaming app’s website. Apple rejected the app update shortly after it was submitted. It said Spotify must agree to the entitlement and pay Apple a commission regardless of whether the app includes an external link. So now the dispute is going back to the European Commission.
