据彭博社，欧盟希望苹果停止【限制 Spotify 等音乐服务在 App Store 之外推广替代性订阅选项】的做法。欧盟计划于明年做出这一决定。一直以来，Spotify 这样的音乐流媒体服务不得告知客户，他们可以通过应用以外的方式（例如通过该平台网站）购买订阅。苹果希望尽可能多地使用户在应用内购买订阅，并要求供应商必须使用苹果的支付系统。此举意味着供应商需向苹果支付高达 30% 的收入。欧盟将在明年初做出决定，为此，苹果可能面临高达其营业额 10% 的罚款。这项调查是由瑞典 Spotify Technology SA 近四年前的投诉引发的，该公司声称它被迫提高每月订阅的价格，以支付与苹果涉嫌扼杀 App Store 运营方式相关的成本。
The European Union hopes that Apple will stop the practice of restricting Spotify and other music services from promoting alternative subscription options outside of the App Store. The EU plans to make this decision next year. Music streaming services like Spotify have not been allowed to inform customers that they can purchase subscriptions through means other than the app, such as through their website. Apple wants to maximize in-app purchases for subscriptions and requires suppliers to use Apple’s payment system. This means that suppliers must pay up to 30% of their revenue to Apple. The EU will make a decision early next year, and as a result, Apple may face fines of up to 10% of its turnover. This investigation was triggered by a complaint from Swedish company Spotify Technology SA nearly four years ago, claiming that it was forced to raise monthly subscription prices in order to cover costs related to Apple’s alleged stifling of App Store operations.
