Spotify claims Apple rejecting latest version of its app, anticompetitively favors Apple Music

<p>Spotify has become very vocal in recent weeks about Apple’s business practices for its App Store. Apple recently revamped its subscription policy for iOS developers, offering a 85/15 split if developers keep customers for more than a year, but Spotify is still not happy with proceedings.</p>
<p>In a letter to Washington seen by Recode (http://www.recode.net/2016/6/30/12067578/spotify-apple-app-store-rejection), the company now says Apple is being anti-competitive by rejecting its latest update to the Spotify app (http://go.benjaminmayo.co.uk/324684580) in order to encourage sales of its own $9.99 Apple Music subscriptions (http://itunes.apple.com/subscribe?at=10l3Qe&amp;ct=subscribe&amp;itscg=1002). Spotify is making a lot of noise to suggest Apple is using illicit business practices to elevate the success of Apple Music, by crippling Spotify and other third-party services.</p>
