Even Apple's $2 billion fine seemingly hasn't stopped its beef with Spotify


Spotify wrote in an email that Apple's delay is the company's way of avoiding compliance with the Digital Markets Act, per The Verge.

"It's been nine days now and we're still waiting to hear from Apple about our app submission to show EU consumers pricing and a link to our website, which we are now authorized to do by the European Commission's decision on the music streaming case," Spotify spokesperson Jeanne Moran wrote in an emailed statement to BI as of March 14. "Apple's delay directly conflicts with its claim that they turn around reviews on app submissions within 24 hours, and it also flies in the face of the timeline for adoption the Commission laid out," Moran added. In response to the EU fine, Apple claimed that the company has been providing ongoing support to Spotify's growth in Europe's digital music market and that it hasn't charged any fees.
