Spotify Updates EU App, Avoids Apple Fees
Spotify (SPOT.N) will update its app on Apple (AAPL.O) devices within the European Union on Wednesday, incorporating the prices of its various plans and services. This comes more than three months after Apple initially rejected the move. The rejection was linked to Spotify's refusal to comply with Apple's newly introduced Music Streaming Services Entitlement, which outlines how streaming apps in the European Economic Area should inform users about alternative purchasing methods.
Spotify将于本周三在欧盟的Apple设备上更新其应用程序,包括其各种计划和服务的价格。这是在Apple最初拒绝此举三个多月后。该拒绝与Spotify拒绝遵守Apple新引入的音乐流媒体服务资格有关,该资格概述了欧洲经济区内流媒体应用程序如何通知用户有关替代购买方法的信息。
The Swedish audio streaming company has now agreed to the new terms but stated that its iOS app would still not include an external link for purchases, as it aims to avoid paying Apple a commission on such transactions. Apple previously clarified that accepting its music streaming terms does not require an external payment link.
这家瑞典音频流媒体公司现在已同意新的条款,但表示其iOS应用程序仍将不包括购买的外部链接,因为它旨在避免为此类交易向苹果支付佣金。Apple此前曾澄清,接受其音乐流媒体条款不需要外部付款链接。
Spotify commented, "While this marks progress, it is merely a small step in the lengthy process of providing iPhone users with the basic product experiences they expect and deserve from their apps."
Spotify发表评论:“虽然这标志着进步,但这仅是为iPhone用户提供其应用程序所期望和应得的基本产品体验所需的漫长过程中的一小步。”
Apple had eased communication restrictions for music streaming apps on iOS devices within the EU in early April. This change came a month after the company was fined 1.84 billion euros ($2 billion) by Brussels for stifling competition from rival music streaming services through App Store limitations. Apple has not yet responded to Reuters' request for comment.
4月初,苹果已放宽了欧盟内iOS设备上的音乐流媒体应用程序通信限制。这项变化发生在该公司因通过应用商店限制竞争对手音乐流媒体服务而被布鲁塞尔罚款了18.4亿欧元(20亿美元)的一个月之后。苹果尚未回复路透社发表的评论请求。
