Apple is set to comply with the DMA in days, and our plans include changes to the rules challenged here\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s clear is that this decision is not grounded in existing competition law. It\u2019s an effort by the commission to enforce the DMA before the DMA becomes law\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"quote-block\" \n<p>     class=\"not-prose clear-both my-6 inline-block border-l-[6px]

company also used the opportunity to fire accusations at Spotify, which made the complaint sparking the EC&#8217;s investigation. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apple identified the music app provider of being the \u201cprimary advocate for this decision and the biggest beneficiary\u201d, claiming the Swedish streaming company met with the regulator 65 times during the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>It also highlighted Spotify had built a dominant position in the market with a \u201clarge part\u201d of this deemed by Apple to be related to its App Store.<\/p>\n<p>However, it now claims the streamer is aiming to \u201cbend the rules in their favour by embedding subscription prices in their app without using the App Store\u2019s in-App Purchase system&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They want to use Apple\u2019s tools and technologies, distribute on the App Store, and benefit from the trust we\u2019ve built with users and to pay Apple nothing for it,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a
