Apple may face €500 million fine over Spotify’s antitrust complaint
苹果可能因Spotify的反垄断投诉面临5亿欧元的罚款
Apple may face a hefty €500 million (around Rs. 4,472 crore) fine as a result of an EU investigation into Spotify’s antitrust complaint filed in 2019, according to the Financial Times. Since 2019, EU regulators have been looking into Spotify’s claim that Apple’s App Store policies hinder competition in the music streaming market. These policies do not allow iPhone apps to inform users of cheaper alternatives to access music subscriptions outside the App Store.
据英国《金融时报》报道，由于欧盟对Spotify在2019年提起的反垄断投诉进行调查，苹果可能面临5亿欧元（约合447.2亿卢比）的巨额罚款。自 2019 年以来，欧盟监管机构一直在调查 Spotify 声称苹果的 App Store 政策阻碍了音乐流媒体市场的竞争。这些政策不允许 iPhone App 告知用户更便宜的替代方案，以访问 App Store 以外的音乐订阅。
