Spotify Criticizes Apple’s New 27% Fees, Calls Them ‘Outrageous’ Apple recently announced a 27% transaction fee for developers in the US, prompting a strong reaction from Spotify.
The music streaming giant accused Apple of prioritizing profits and obstructing competition. Spotify is urging the UK government to prevent similar fees, emphasizing the need for a more competitive tech industry.
Apple introduced the fees after a legal battle with Epic Games, claiming compliance with court rulings. Spotify contends that Apple’s actions contradict the court’s intention to foster competition.
The UK government’s Digital Markets Bill is seen as a potential solution, but intervention specifics remain uncertain.
