Spotify CEO Daniel Ek says Apple's new App Store changes are a 'new low'::Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek said Apple's new changes to its App Store in the EU are a "masterclass in distortion."
I hear you but Apple's stance on these issues also stops something like an F-droid Iphone equivalent.
I guarantee you Google is taking notes.
I'm closer and closer to getting rid of all proprietary software/hardware. Waiting patiently for my Sony and Fitbit to die out so I can replace them with literally anything but Android, preferably something that works with GadgetBridge.
But that's not why Mr. Out-of-touch Swedish Billionaire is grumpy.
Was that a possibility before the changes?
The users are the ones getting screwed. The costs of business are always passed to the customers. In the case of Google's and Apple's taxes this means all the customers and not even the ones doing IAP purchases because unlike actual sales taxes, apps aren't allowed to charge them directly to the buyer.
That’s not true at all, just don’t buy through Apple/Google, buy off their website. Apps charge extra for IAP (vs online) all the time, I have no clue what you are talking about.
I wonder how much they can raise the price for the monthly Spotify subscription before people go back to pirating.
