Spotify complains of anti-competitive behaviour by Apple
8th May 2019
More competition concerns for Apple, with the EU looking set to investigate Spotify's complaint that Apple's dominance of App Store means that it looks to push Apple music services to the detriment of its rivals.
Spotify argue that Apple is charging it a 30% tax on purchases made through the App Store, and that this means that its prices are not able to be as competitive as those of Apple Music, something Apple denies.
However, are Apple concerned about this? Currently, many think that the big tech firms are happy to exploit dominant positions in the knowledge that any regulatory intervention is going to fine them less than the gains that they've made from anti-competitive behaviour.
