Apple Music and Spotify tense up over music label agreements

19 August, 2016
This is not the first or last time Spotify and Apple Music will clash. Not so recently, Spotify called out Apple’s App Store revenue rules, calling the company “anti-competitive” when it came to Apple favoring its own streaming services and putting third party services down, so to speak. In response, Apple accused Spotify of asking for special treatment from other apps.

        AnonD-442781, 24 Aug 2016You clearly know nothing about this. Basically, apple mu... moreahm that is what I was trying to say, Apple can decide what they want on their OS, Spotify does not want Apple to do it, do they own Apple? no, so Apple has the freedom to do what they want and we all know what Apple wants, for users to pay for their music in their own App, dafak are you arguing about

            Basically, apple music doesn't have to pay Apple, and so they can undercut competitors in an anticompetitive way. Spotify tried to combat this by saying you can subscribe online for less, but Apple stopped them and threatened to remove them because it was advertising not using the Apple app store.

              so Apple made their own music stream and Spotify got mad? LOL that's why Sony dropped them, they don't want mobile brands to create their own music app, goodluck if Samsung does the same, Spotify will really get buried
