Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, ready to dive into some exciting news about Spotify and Apple that’s shaking up the app world. Grab your headphones and let’s get started!
Spotify just scored a big win with Apple’s approval for its latest app update in the U.S. Now, users can see pricing info clearly and use external payment links right in the app. This change comes hot on the heels of a U.S. judge telling Apple to stop charging hefty commissions on in-app purchases.
For nearly a decade, Spotify wasn’t able to show transparent pricing or direct users outside the app for purchases, but those days are over! Spotify’s spokesperson, Jeanna Moran, called this a victory for everyone: consumers, artists, and creators alike.
With version 9.0.40 rolling out now, Spotify users can explore different subscription plans and prices within the app itself. Even better, they can jump to Spotify’s website to manage subscriptions without Apple’s usual 30% fee cutting into the action.
This update also unlocks the ability to showcase special promotions directly to users, which means more deals and better options for fans who love streaming their favorite tunes.
Apple, while required to comply, isn’t exactly thrilled and plans to appeal the decision. The ruling called out Apple for ignoring earlier orders to make its App Store fairer for developers by allowing links to external purchases.
So, the ball’s rolling on a new era where app makers can compete on a more level playing field—and Spotify is leading the charge with a fresh update that promises more control and savings for you, the user. Stay tuned; this show is just beginning!
