The European Union is reportedly preparing to impose a fine on tech giant Apple in connection with an antitrust case involving music streaming service Spotify. Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that the EU is set to penalize Apple for alleged anti-competitive behavior related to its App Store policies.
The case revolves around Spotify's complaint that Apple unfairly restricts competition by imposing rules that favor its own Apple Music service over rival streaming platforms. Spotify has argued that Apple's policies, such as requiring app developers to use its in-app payment system and charging a commission on digital purchases, put competitors at a disadvantage.
