If they continue taking 30% of revenue from Spotify, refuse to let people to listen to Spotify on their speakers and make it impossible for Spotify to update the app then the only music app left will be Apple. There's no difference in price between Apple and Spotify right now so in the short term consumers consumers wouldn't worse off, but if Spotify leaves the App Store then quite quickly you're going to see Apple raising prices. If iPhones users no longer have a choice then Apple can raise the monthly price to $12.99 and there's nothing consumers could do to stop them. I have a MacBook and iPhone but I'm not thirteen years old so I don't blindly defend a huge international business And I am? Lol you are here defending something too buddy... Once again every company has their terms and conditions when it comes to apps, unfortunately apple who owns iPhones, who owns macs, who owns iTunes, also owns Apple Music and they have the right to push their product more than any other product for their own devices lol what is it that you don’t understand? If Spotify doesn’t agree they can simply walk away. Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirages 20,259 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't understand why spotify is surprised. Like Apple Music is literally Apple's and of course they gonna go with the app that makes them more money. It's business. This won't help anything it's pathetic.

If Spotify doesn’t agree they can simply walk away. Uh, you're talking as if you're an Apple executive who benefits from this and I'm trying to explain why this is bad for consumers. If Spotify walks away then everyone with an iPhone will be forced to use Apple Music. As I said that's not a big deal right now, but a few months later Apple would definitely raise their prices. It's $9.99 now because if it was any higher then everyone would just use Spotify, but once Spoify is gone the price could be $19.99 and because there's no competition then we would be forced to pay that. Also, Spotify could keep updating and adding more features but Apple could keep things the same because there's no competition anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louvre 3,423 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Why are people defending Apple and its self-helping policies? That's unfair competition. Doesn't the US have laws on that like Europe? Of course Apple tries to create a monopoly but monopolies are extremely bad for consumers and lead to less innovation, lower quality and higher prices.

However, the reality is that the rules are not applied evenly across the board. Does Uber pay it? No. Deliveroo? No. Does Apple Music pay it? No. So Apple gives the advantage to its own services. But you don't have to buy it in-app. You can do it on Spotify's website. The ARTPOP Zedd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borislshere 53,665 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've had apple music but I currently use Spotify premium and there's no way I'm going back. I'm not sure what voodoo magic Spotify is using on me but they somehow always create the perfect playlists. I'v discovered so many new artist through them .

JazzGa 14,654 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 01. That's just good business practice. You lower prices for companies/apps you own or have a stake in, since it's ultimately your money coming back after all. 02. If you buy an iPhone, Apple controls all sorts of things about what you can see, it collects your data, you store your nudes in their cloud. You have more to worry about from Apple being "unfair" than missing out on a Spotify coupon lmao This sounds really pathetic coming from what I see as a "rival" company that isn't as multi-leveled and integrated as Apple. It's like they are trying to sound like anti-Big Business "we just wanna be FAIR!!" BernieBroBait but it's just an ad where they whine about not being the biggest boi.

That's not how business works You have laws that define the borders of what you're allowed and not allowed to do (and most of them are here to protect the customers from abuses!) Apple is playing on the edge of that border and it will be the role of the Justice to tell on what side they are.

JazzGa 14,654 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Also, for people complaining "Monopoly!!!" you can just... not buy iPhones Even if Spotify leaves the Apple platform, that won't make Apple a monopoly because you can choose a different brand of phone.
