The European Union is currently taking measures to curb the power of tech giants, and it’s increasingly looking like it may block Apple’s App Store rules that apply to music streaming services within its jurisdiction.
The new rule would prohibit Apple’s current practice of preventing music streaming services from directing customers away from subscribing via an in-app purchase. In-app purchase subscriptions are routed through Apple’s payment service and thus require paying Apple a cut.
