stupidrain71 1,477 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/03/addressing-spotifys-claims/ Some key points they have pointed out: In revenue: “As Spotify points out, that revenue share is 30 percent for the first year of an annual subscription — but they left out that it drops to 15 percent in the years after.” In business: “Spotify wouldn’t be the business they are today without the App Store ecosystem” In royalties: “Spotify sued music creators after a decision by the US Copyright Royalty Board required Spotify to increase its royalty payments. This isn’t just wrong, it represents a real, meaningful and damaging step backwards for the music industry.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really true though. Apple isn't being mature and is just tactful. They have a position of power here and knowing their tactics throughout, I know they're not a "good" company. They're just as evil and whiny as any other big company trying to get its way. Spotify's complaints are real and include things that many have complained about before.

boyerased 2,889 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Apple states that to sustain app store they take a percentage. Of course they would like to protect their interests still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Gg 12,985 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 All the Apple supporters thinking this is a good response Probably also think that Apple purposely damaging their battery life through iOS updates is for users' good Edit: Damaging performance for battery life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 79,275 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Apple came through with the FACTS. I’m surprised Spotify would make a video like that.. imagine they took it off the App Store Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether or not they have other platforms they can operate on, a HUGE percentage of Spotify’s users come from Apple’s products, and if Spotify wants to use apple’s products to make money then it’s only fair that Apple take a cut of that for providing the infrastructure that allows Spotify to earn money. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
