Spotify's US app update gets Apple approval after court ruling
May 26, 2025 12:14 AM

May 2 (Reuters) - Spotify ( SPOT ) said on Friday its

U.S. app update has secured Apple's ( AAPL ) approval to show

pricing information and external payment links, days after a

judge barred the iPhone maker from charging commission on

off-app purchases.

The Swedish streaming giant, along with several other tech

firms, has been at loggerheads with Apple ( AAPL ) over its App Store

policies, which require developers to pay a commission on in-app

purchases, including subscriptions.

"After nearly a decade, this will finally allow us to freely

show clear pricing information and links to purchase, fostering

transparency and choice for U.S. consumers," Spotify ( SPOT )

spokesperson Jeanne Moran said in an email.

Apple ( AAPL ) did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for

comment.

Spotify ( SPOT ) had submitted the app update on Thursday, a day

after U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said that the

company failed to comply with her prior order imposed in an

antitrust lawsuit by "Fortnite" maker Epic Games.

The Cupertino, California-based firm said it disagreed with

the decision, but would comply with the court's order and

appeal.
