Apple aprueba la actualización de Spotify con precios en EE. UU. y enlaces de pago.

Spotify announced on Friday that Apple has approved its U.S. app update, which will now enable users to view pricing details and use external payment links. This development follows a recent U.S. court ruling requiring Apple to cease collecting commissions on in-app purchases made via iPhones.

“Apple approved Spotify’s U.S. app update, allowing clearer pricing and purchase links, boosting transparency and choice for users, Spotify spokesperson Jeanne Moran told TechCrunch.”

She added, We’re now able to offer consumers better prices, greater control, and easier access to Spotify. “While we still have more progress to make, today marks an important step forward for developers and entrepreneurs who are seeking fairer competition. This is just the beginning of a new chapter, and we’re ready for what lies ahead.”

Spotify Rolls Out Version 9.0.40 with New Purchase Capabilities

“The App Store is currently releasing the latest version of the app, 9.0.40.” Spotify is among the first major platforms to introduce an update that enables purchases.

Spotify submitted the app update to Apple just a day ago, highlighting that it would now be able to inform users about various subscription plans and their pricing directly within the iPhone app. Customers will also have the option to navigate to Spotify’s website to purchase or modify their subscriptions, bypassing Apple’s 30% fee on in-app transactions. Additionally, Spotify noted it can now share promotional deals with U.S. users through the app.

Apple to Comply with Court Ruling but Plans to Appeal

Apple stated on Wednesday that it will follow the court’s ruling, but it firmly disagrees with the decision and plans to appeal.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated on Wednesday that Apple breached a directive to modify its App Store, enabling developers to direct customers to their websites for purchases. The ruling indicated that Apple not only failed to comply with the order but did so intentionally, aiming to create new anticompetitive obstacles.
