I'm quite interested in all this, because I feel they have significant impact on the future of these tech giants. Just as Google has been battling anti-trust suits for some time, it seems like it's time for Apple to face the music.
From Apple's reply to Spotify, I notice that they haven't made a single valid counterpoint to Spotify's primary claim, which is that Apple is favouring their own Apple Music service on the App Store and the Apple Watch, while applying different rules for their competitors. In fact, it's quite disconcerting to see Apple engage in this petty whataboutery, when they mentioned that Spotify don't pay the musicians well: this point has nothing whatsoever to do with this anti-trust case. It's quite okay for Spotify to be horrible to the musicians and still want to be treated fairly by Apple.
I personally am on Spotify's side in this case and I hope cases like these prevent these tech giants from brazenly stomping over rivals as and when they see fit.
