Beijing time on July 21 news, people familiar with the matter said that Spotify had previously sued Apple for monopoly,Now that it presents new evidence but no new charges, EU antitrust agency may step up its investigationwhich may speed up the investigation of the case.
The European Commission told Apple last year that its App Store rules distort competition in the music streaming market.App Store requires developers to use Apple’s own in-app payment systemand does not allow developers to present other purchase options to users.
Apple promotes its own Apple Music on the iPhone, and Spotify sued the European Commission after accusing Apple of restricting its competitors.
The European Commission may send a letter to Apple stating the facts, but it has yet to make a final decision, the people said.
Such letters typically contain new evidence that reinforces previous allegations, which Apple can refute in writing.
If Apple is found to have violated EU antitrust law,Apple could be fined up to 10% of global revenue.
Apple was also involved in another EU antitrust lawsuit in May over its Apple Pay payment system.
