"The price that you pay in the app and the price that you pay on any other platform is the same price." No, it's not. In-app purchases were 30% more expensive than purchases from the official website.

But every other sentence and other replies I did say the price on iOS is the same as every other platform and you are still so blinded by Apple hate that you cannot admit all of your other comments are just wrong.

Spotify was eating the 30% transaction fee, you were not paying that. The price that you pay in the app and the price that you pay on any other platform is the same price.
Anyone paying for Spotify is a fool, it is the easiest app to pirate. Sideload Eveespotify if you're on iOS and enjoy your free premium.

Good. Apple stop leeching and actually MAKE STUFF that people will actually want to PAY.
Improve your own sub like Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Your own offering is JUNK compared to others.
Improve your OWN iOS, and iPadOS.. which is JUNK compared to your macOS.
STOP your AI, it is JUNK.. make stuff like Desktop mode,
So that you can SPEND less on lawsuits.. and get these govt off you. And use those MONEY to ACTUALLY innovate.

Imagine that you're the boss and your employee requests you to lower your salary with a smirk on his face and you have to choice but to approve his request. This is what Spotify is doing to Apple.
