Apple has been fined by regulators in Europe for not allowing music streaming apps to tell customers they can subscribe to cheaper alternatives outside the App Store.

Swedish music giant Spotify filed a complaint to the EU in 2019 which claimed that Apple limits choice and competition by charging a 30% fee on purchases made through the App Store.

The European Commission said that the global tech giant, who offers Apple Music to its customers, had “abused its dominant position in the market for distributing music streaming apps, and had broken EU antitrust rules in the process.”
