Despite evidence that Apple has worked with Spotify and other competitors, Apple appears to expect that the European Commission will rule against the company based on the music competition probe.

The European Commission has been investigating Apple and how it handles competing developers like Spotify. The probe could result in a 500 million euro fine and additional regulation on how Apple handles business with its products and the App Store.
According to information provided to AppleInsider by Apple, the company is concerned that the European Commission (EC) will rule in Spotify’s favor and give it even greater control of the streaming market. After a decade of investigations, Apple claims the EC has failed to find anything proving Apple has caused consumer harm or anti-competitive behavior.
