Spotify Updates App in Wake of ‘Significant’ Court Ruling Against Apple
Spotify was able to update its app after a judge told Apple to stop collecting a commission on some app sales earlier this week
Apple approved Spotify’s app update in the U.S. on Friday (May 2), marking “a significant milestone for developers and entrepreneurs everywhere who want to build and compete on a more level playing field,” according to the streamer. “After nearly a decade, this will finally allow us to freely show clear pricing information and links to purchase, fostering transparency and choice for U.S. consumers,” Spotify wrote in a blog post. Epic Games was not the only company that disliked this arrangement: Horacio Gutierrez, Spotify’s chief legal officer, said in 2020 that Apple “acts as the stadium owner, referee and player, and tilts the playing field in favor of its own services.”
