Over the past few months, Spotify has been exceedingly vocal and critical about the way in which Apple manages the App Store. Specifically, Spotify takes issue with Apple’s 30% cut, with Spotify CEO Daniel Ek a few months ago categorizing the 30% figure as an unfair tax on competitors that have to compete with Apple.
For what it’s worth, Spotify stopped taking sign-ups via the app in 2016, which is to say that Spotify now pays a 15% cut to Apple for users who previously signed up for the service via the app. That notwithstanding, Spotify has passionately argued that Apple’s rules regarding the App Store run afoul of antitrust law.
