Spotify says its big iPhone update with new subscription options is being blocked by Apple in the EU

Spotify.

There's more bad blood between Spotify and Apple than you'd find in a Taylor Swift song, and in the latest instalment of the best music streaming service's battle, Spotify is accusing Apple of yet more bad behavior. Despite Apple incurring a whopping $2 billion fine from European regulators over its restrictions on third party streaming apps, Spotify says that Apple is still seeking to "circumvent and/or not comply with the Commission's decision". 

According to The Verge, Spotify's anger is over its latest app update, which it submitted to Apple on March 5 and has still not been approved. The update includes changes that Spotify says the EU allows it to make, so it includes direct links to Spotify's website and information on pricing options that don't require customers to use Apple's payment system.
