Apple is also being misleading about the 30%/15% fee variance. They make it seem like Spotify's fees drop to 15% after it has been in the App Store for a year.

Apple is also being misleading about the 30%/15% fee variance. They make it seem like Spotify's fees drop to 15% after it has been in the App Store for a year. In reality, it is only 15% if a user is renewing their annual subscription. For initial purchase of annual subscriptions or initial purchase+renewal of all other subscription durations the fee is still 30% indefinitely. And I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of users pay monthly rather than annually.
