Apple approves the Spotify application update, which allows users to access price information, external payment links

Spotify said on Friday that Apple approved its American application update, which would allow users to access information on prices and external payment links. The approval will take place a few days after the American judge ordered Apple to stop charging the commission for purchases via the iPhone application.

“In the victory for consumers, artists, creators and authors of Apple, he approved the update of the Spotify application,” said spokeswoman Spotify Jeanne Moran in a statement for TechCrunch. “After almost a decade it will be At last Let us freely display clear information about prices and links to buy, support transparency and selection for American consumers. “

She continued. “We can now provide consumers with lower prices, greater control and easier access to Spotify's experience. There is more work, but today it is a significant milestone for programmers and entrepreneurs around the world who want to build and compete on a more even pitch. This is the initial act of the new era, and we could not be more ready for the program.”

An updated application, version 9.0.40, now implements in the App Store. Spotify is now one of the first main applications that will receive a new update by opening shopping.

Spotify sent an Apple update yesterday, noting that he can tell clients about different subscription options and how much each one costs right in the iPhone application. Users will also be able to connect with the purchase or change of Spotify subscription plan on the company's website, where its transactions will not be subject to 30% of Apple services for payments in the application. In addition, Spotify said that now he would be able to tell clients about promotional offers in the application.

Apple said on Wednesday that this would be in line with the court's decision, but he definitely does not agree with the decision and will appeal.

The US District Judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, said on Wednesday that Apple violated the order for the reform of the application store to allow programmers to send customers to their websites for purchases. According to Apple, it not only did not meet the order, but also intentionally did it, with the intention of establishing new anti -competitive barriers.
