Daniel Ek, Founder, and CEO of Spotify in his <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2019-03-13\/consumers-and-innovators-win-on-a-level-playing-field\/\">blogpost<\/a> stated that Apple requires Spotify and other digital services to pay 30% tax on purchases made through Apple\u2019s payment system, including upgrading Spotify\u2019s Free to Premium service. He further states that if they choose not to use Apple\u2019s payment system, and forgo the charge, then Apple applies a number of \u201ctechnical and experience-limiting restrictions on Spotify.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spotify alleges that Apple uses its ownership over iOS and the App Store to impose an &#8216;Apple tax&#8217; that stifles competition.<\/p>\n<p
