Spotify can now have subscription links within the iOS app in the US that allow users to make payments externally, bypassing all Apple payment systems.With this update, users can now see all Spotify plans and promotions within the app and click on them to go to an external payment page. By doing so, the user is bypassing Apple’s payment system, which, as hassle-free as it is, also charged a 30% fee on top of the plan charges.This free lunch to Spotify comes courtesy of Epic Games, who secured a landslide victory against Apple on April 30 in a US court, where the judge ordered Apple to stop charging developers a fee on external payment links and also to stop scaring users who try to click on external links. The court also found Apple in violation of a previous ruling that required Apple to allow developers to direct users to other payment systems. Should Apple to be allowed to decide how to do business with other companies ?
