Spotify doesn't like Apple One

15 September 2020
The just-unveiled service bundle has triggered a new round of animosity between the two.

Sort by:

Netflix + Amazon Prime for me ... and my children are using Spotify on Android.
Got some good shows on Netflix & Amazon, Amazon Music is fine for me.
I'm using just ONE device for all my needs. :-)

    Apple has a dominant position in every aspect of it's business, so they can do whatever they want, it's not Android folks

      I’m getting the $30 bundle and going to keep my Spotify family.

        What? Is Apple not allowed to have their own services on their own platform anymore, just because Spotify can't compete?

          Spotify have to just lower their subscription prices so they can be competitive with Apple or bundle up with Netflix and still maintain 14.95$. That would sell like hot cakes!

            YUKI93, 16 Sep 2020But unlike iOS, you have the ability to use any Android app... moreMost people prefer android because iPhone is too expensive for most. Most android phones sold are $200 phones and Apple have nothing to offer there. Right away when Apple released this cheapest iPhone SE it's instant hit and again opened new market for Apple.

                What you did there basically explains Apple's own ecosystem. iOS app on iOS phone, yes. But iOS app on Android phone? I don't see one.

All this is combined is much more than apple devices. So if they can not address the market in the right way the problem is with them.

                          [deleted post]Oh yes, the endless bashing of iOS being this tyrannical "you can't do anything on it" system. Yet I'm running it all while not using a single app from Apple. Not for maps, not for music, not for file storage, not for mail, nothing. In fact I don't use it from Google either. And I can migrate between platforms and not depending on either. Yeah, iOS really is bad mhm... It's the same s**t as Android, stop pretending it's any different.

                          Also noticed Spotify finally realized Slovenia is also in Europe. Only took them a god damn decade...

                            Spotify is right with their claims. Thats how monopolies are born. Ever wonder why internet is so expensive in USA?

They act... moreYou just need to look at what hastened to the phones market when Apple decided to join. There were good sides to that, but see what happened to the prices. Repairability is another thing Apple trys to limit and monopolize. Spotify as a company seem to understand how Apple can damage the market with their moves.

                                  Not true, Apple TV+ works with PC and also with lot of Smart TV's. Same for Apple music.

They actually hyptonize their customers. If they want to enjoy the benefits of Apple One, they have to buy all Apple devices. And I know if people have enough money, they will surely buy those. Apple has great marketing tactics. But this looks like slavery. If Spotify dies as a contender, Apple can increase the price in future.

                                      This is not the response I’m expecting from Spotify. Why not make also bundle that would compete with Apple One? I prefer Spotify over Apple music because its cheaper and the overall experience was great but yeah, Apple could steal some of those paying subscribers from spotify with this
