All developers who want to have their apps on the App Store must give Apple a 30% commission. This is the price they have to pay to Cupertino’s company for obtaining this space. A price that Spotify considers abusive and that it believes gives Apple Music a competitive edge. That’s why the Swedish company decided to complain.
The European Union wants a new regulation for shops like the App Store
The complaint appears to have taken effect in Europe, as the European Union accepts the complaint. In addition, they are willing to introduce a new regulatory framework for app stores such as the App Store or Play Store.
The European Union wants app stores like the App Store to be more transparent in ranking search results. So it is not possible for them to prioritize their services over those of competitors just because they are the administrators of these tools. This is what the European Union wants.
Although at the moment we do not know the measures with which they seek to fight and change the situation in stores such as the App Store. Since there is much to do until the situation can be changed. But it is good that the European Union is ready to introduce a new regulation to help regulate more efficiently.
So it seems that Spotify’s complaint has had its effect in this regard. Since we are seeing the first steps towards new rules in this regard. The App Store or Apple have not reacted to this so far.
