App Store War: Spotify Calls Apple 'Harmful,' 'Anti-Competitive' in Letter to EU Commissioner

The letter states that “Apple benefits from a monopoly position over its mobile ecosystem and extracts exorbitant rents from app developers who have no choice but to remain on the App Store to reach European consumers.”
