Apple has approved an update to Spotify's U.S. app, enabling the display of pricing and linking to external payment pages. This change follows a U.S. judge's order for Apple to discontinue commissions on in-app purchases. Spotify hailed this development as a triumph for consumers and developers, allowing for more transparent pricing and potential savings. Users can now directly access different subscription options and promotional offers, marking a significant shift in the App Store's purchasing landscape. Despite this change, Apple plans to appeal the court's ruling.
In a victory for consumers, artists, creators, and authors, Apple has approved Spotify's U.S. app update, after nearly a decade it will finally allow us to freely show clear pricing information.
We can now give consumers lower prices, more control, and easier access to the Spotify experience. Today represents a significant milestone for developers and entrepreneurs everywhere who want to build and compete.
The updated app, version 9.0.40, is rolling out now on the App Store. Spotify is now one of the first major apps to get a new update, opening up purchases.
Apple will comply with the court's order, but that it strongly disagrees with the decision and will appeal, as stated by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
