Apple has filed an appeal to the European Union Court of Justice following a decision by the European Commission to fine Apple 1.8 billion euros for anti-competitive behavior in the music streaming app market. Spotify, the complainant in the case, has accused Apple of hindering competition in the market where Spotify is a key player. Apple had previously stated that the Commission lacked sufficient evidence to prove that Apple’s actions were harmful or obstructed competition, impacting consumers. In the European market, Spotify holds a larger market share compared to Apple Music, Apple’s music streaming service, which is nearly double. The European Commission is prepared to continue fighting against Apple in this matter.
TLDR: Apple appeals EU fine for anti-competitive behavior in music streaming app market, facing accusations from Spotify.
