Apple is challenging the €1.8 billion antitrust fine related to a Spotify complaint

22 May 2024
Spotify claimed that Apple's App Store taxes gave Apple Music an unfair advantage - and the European Commission agreed.

Sort by:

Apple shouldn't be dancing around antitrust laws however...

Spotify isn't doing itself any favors barely paying the artists and STILL not offering the one feature Apple Music (alongside Prime Music HD, Tidal, and Qobuz) kills Spotify on: HiFi 24-bit playback. It's unbelievable that they STILL don't have this feature when the competition is already ahead of them. They have more to worry about than how Apple is managing their App Store...

              Hope they revise to 2B after consideration. I love Spotify. Great app

                Always same problems with Apple... To damn greedy...

                    fine both of them...

                      Don't worry guys.

                      Apple will either have to pay the original fine or have to pay more over time. Apple is obviously being greedy here and is in the wrong.

                        Good, fight back against idiot Spotify. Spotify is losing money every day hence why Spotify want Apple get fine. Pay peanut to the artist and you get peanut respect for that.

                            I was defending Apple previously, but if they are anti steering then they deserves to be fined for anti competiveness.
                            So so greedy.
