Spotify Updates EU App, Avoids Apple Fees

Spotify Updates EU App, Avoids Apple Fees

Spotify更新歐盟應用程序,避免蘋果費用
Business Today ·  08/14 06:40

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將於本週三在歐盟的Apple設備上更新其應用程序,包括其各種計劃和服務的價格。這是在Apple最初拒絕此舉三個多月後。該拒絕與Spotify拒絕遵守Apple新引入的音樂流媒體服務資格有關,該資格概述了歐洲經濟區內流媒體應用程序如何通知用戶有關替代購買方法的信息。

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.

這家瑞典音頻流媒體公司現在已同意新的條款,但表示其iOS應用程序仍將不包括購買的外部鏈接,因爲它旨在避免爲此類交易向蘋果支付佣金。Apple此前曾澄清,接受其音樂流媒體條款不需要外部付款鏈接。

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發表評論:「雖然這標誌着進步,但這僅是爲iPhone用戶提供其應用程序所期望和應得的基本產品體驗所需的漫長過程中的一小步。」

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,蘋果已放寬了歐盟內iOS設備上的音樂流媒體應用程序通信限制。這項變化發生在該公司因通過應用商店限制競爭對手音樂流媒體服務而被布魯塞爾罰款了18.4億歐元(20億美元)的一個月之後。蘋果尚未回覆路透社發表的評論請求。
