Apple or spotify
It seems that from what is the biggest music streaming platform, Spotify, they are starting to get nervous with Apple Music The The CEO of the Swedish company has sent a formal complaint in the form of an open letter to the European Commission in which he denounces some aspects of Apple that he considers competition unfair.
Thus, from Spotify they raise different arguments, referring to the 30% commission charged by Apple for subscriptions to certain services.All of this, they allege, what it does is give Apple an advantage over its own services, such as Apple Music, to the detriment of other services such as its own Spotify
Among Spotify's complaints is not being able to use Siri or Siri Shortcuts with its app
It is also mentioned that, for users to opt for the services of Apple, Apple itself prevents access to applications that compete with their services to certain functions such as Siri, the HomePod or the development of the app for Apple WatchThe latter is quite debatable, since we recently saw how appeared as an unofficial Spotify app for the Apple Watch with all the functions that users requested.

In short, from Spotify they allege that Apple charges 30% for certain subscriptions while for others they don't (they mention, for example Uber) and that Apple prevents access to certain features and devices iOSAnd that this always happens when a certain service or app competes in the same sector as a service or app from Apple
The truth is that the complaint seems logical to us but, on the other hand, the App Store and the services of Appleare owned by the latter. That is why Apple dictates its rules and establishes the different criteria and, it even seems logical to us that in its store of apps and functions, its own services prevail.
We'll see how this ends. Will Apple have to give up and give more visibility to its competitors? Will they have to give up services like Spotify if they want to continue in the App Store?
