Addressing Spotify’s Claims

Apple isn't doing anything to Spotify that they don't do to all apps - both the app store rejections and the fees. It seems wrong to call that anti-competitive in favor of Apple Music.

But they are doing something to Spotify (and all other music streaming apps) that they don't do to their own app.

Ethically I think you might have a point but having a different set of rules for 1st and 3rd party applications isn't a super new idea.

But it isn't necessarily wrong to call that anti-competitive in favour of Apple in general.
