The European Union has started its antitrust investigations against Apple Pay and App Store. The EU had been looking into complaints against Apple's antitrust behaviour since last year, specially after Spotify's complaint, and has finally started formal investigations. Meanwhile, Apple has rejected a new app due to its lack of in-app purchases, which has raised new concerns regarding its policies which hurt third-party app developers and services in the App Store.

The antitrust investigation revolves around App Store's 30% cut that Apple charges for third-party app subscriptions. It also covers Apple's OS updates and API changes which limit rival companies from competing on a level playing field against Apple Music. However, since Spotify had first complained about this, Apple has made many changes to its platforms to allow third-party music apps that same access to features that its own Music app does.
