Which Apple is not doing.
- UnoriginalGuy 10y agoSo Apple charges their own music service a 30% fee?
- st3v3r 10y agoSpotify is being charged the same rates as other apps on the platform
- UnoriginalGuy 10y agoIncluding Apple's?
- MBCook 10y agoHonestly could be. Since Apple is both sides they could decide to find the cost between divisions in such a way that they were still paying the 30% fee. It just happens that 30% goes to them. That wouldn't prove either way whether Apple is being mean to Spotify. Kind of a moot point.
