Spotify says Apple 'discontinued' the tech for some of its volume controls on iOS

Spotify has created a temporary solution for volume controls on iOS when using Spotify Connect after Apple made a change to its operating system.

The streaming service says Apple "discontinued the technology" that allowed it to employ the volume buttons on iOS devices to make level adjustments when using Spotify Connect. It works with either Bluetooth or WiFi, showing a list of compatible options when you click the display/speaker icon on the app's media player. According to TechCrunch, Spotify is once again blaming Apple for violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to stop "gatekeepers" from using "unfair practices" with their products and services.
