While Apple continues to appeal against the EU’s Digital Markets Act, Spotify has announced that it will bring in-app purchases to the iPhone at the first opportunity. From March 7, 2024, it plans to offer users of its iOS app the ability to subscribe, without using Apple’s in-app payment system.
“What’s one of the top complaints about Spotify?” writes the company in a blog post. “It’s actually something that until now has been outside of our control: the ability to seamlessly subscribe to and buy things through Spotify on your iPhone.”
