Spotify adds external subscription links to the iOS app following US court decision
Briefly

Spotify has been granted the ability to include external subscription payment links in its iOS app after a landmark court decision against Apple. This update means users can now view and select Spotify plans and promotions, redirecting them to an external payment page without incurring Apple's 30% fee. Epic Games' success in court not only benefits Spotify but also confirms the right for developers to direct users to alternative payment systems, limiting Apple's control over transactions. Apple is currently appealing the ruling amid findings that an Apple executive lied during the process.
Spotify's recent app update post-court decision allows external payment links, letting users bypass Apple's 30% payment fee for subscriptions.
Epic Games' victory over Apple not only benefits Spotify, but also reinforces developers' rights to connect with customers directly.
