No. of Paragraph 6

It's a post-Digital Markets Act (DMA) world, and Spotify continues to test what that means for its iOS app. The music streamer announced that it submitted an update for Apple's approval that would allow Spotify to display "basic pricing and website information" on its app in Europe and "the bare minimum outlined under the European Commission's ruling in its music streaming case." Within a few hours, Apple had rejected the update.

In the news, shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Spotify's chief public affairs officer Dustee Jenkins further stated, "By charging developers to communicate with consumers through in-app links, Apple continues to break European law. It's past time for the Commission to enforce its decision so that consumers can see real, positive benefits."

In the hours following Spotify's stunt, Apple swiftly moved to reject the update. In a response sent to Spotify and shared with Engadget, the company said the following:

Spotify is — surprise! — not pleased with this development. A spokesperson for the company told Engadget that "Apple has once again defied the European Commission’s decision, rejecting our update for attempting to communicate with customers about our prices unless we pay Apple a new tax." They added that Apple's "disregard for consumers and developers is matched only by their disdain for the law."
