E.U. accuses Apple of antitrust violations over App Store rules after Spotify complaint

“The App Store is the sole gateway to consumers using Apple’s smart mobile devices,” the charge sheet states, adding: “The Commission found that users of Apple’s devices are very loyal to the brand and they do not switch easily. As a consequence, in order to serve iOS users, app developers have to distribute their apps via the App Store, subject to Apple’s mandatory and non-negotiable rules.”
