Apple does pay artists a much larger cut than Spotify. At e.g. 5000 streams Apple pays the artist ca 37 USD vs the 22 USD that Spotify pays out.

  $22*1.30 = $35.1 Interesting, so Spotify could pay nearly the same simply by paying the 30% to artists instead of Apple. And of course, those 37 might already be partly paid by Spotify anyway.

    22*1.3 = 28.6
