Spotify Says Apple's Deal On App Store Doesn't Address Issues

Swedish music streaming platform Spotify Technology SA said Apple Inc.'s deal to loosen App Store restrictions for small developers does not address the basic aspects of their "anti-competitive and unfair practices."

"Apple's recent changes do not address any of the core concerns Spotify and many others have with Apple," the company said in a tweet.

Spotify in its 2019 complaint to the European Commission said Apple unfairly restricted rivals to its own music streaming service Apple Music and protested against the 30% fee levied on app developers to use Apple's in-app purchase system, Eva Mathews reported for Reuters.

Apple, Google, and other tech giants have also been slapped with anti-trust lawsuits in dozens of US states.
