Spotify has been actively rallying global lawmakers and regulators against Apple, particularly regarding the controversial App Store fees, leading to significant legal repercussions for Apple, including a $2 billion fine from the European Commission. This ongoing battle highlights the shifting dynamics in the tech industry, where Apple's dominance is increasingly threatened.

Apple is negotiating with EU regulators to avoid hefty fines related to its App Store practices, particularly concerning anti-steering rules that prevent developers from directing users to alternative payment options. The company is expected to propose new concessions before the June 26 deadline, as previous changes have not fully satisfied regulatory requirements. The potential daily fines could exceed $50 million if compliance is not achieved.
