Streaming mad: EC charges Apple with abuse of dominance, distorting competition in Spotify case
The European Commission today said it believes Apple has abused its absolute control of app distribution on iOS, resulting in the disadvantage of third-party streaming services that compete with Apple Music.
In its Statement of Objections, the Commission took umbrage with Apple's strict (and non-negotiable) terms that all developers must comply with, as well as the App Store's position as the sole available method of app distribution on iOS (and other similar platforms, like iPad OS).
