Summary

  • Music streaming service Spotify has submitted an updated iOS app that offers US users more payment options outside of Apple’s systems, as allowed by a ruling in the Epic Games v Apple case on Wednesday.
  • The ruling stipulates that Apple is not allowed to charge fees for transactions made through apps using systems other than Apple’s, or force developers to use Apple’s payment system.
  • The ruling also requires Apple to allow developers to inform their customers of other purchasing options.
  • Spotify has said that if Apple approves the app, it will be able to provide US users with a better range of subscription options and pricing plans.
  • Other app developers, such as Patreon, are expected to follow suit.
