Apple reportedly faces €500m fine from EU over music streaming access

Brussels to issue levy after Spotify complained about block on telling users about cheaper alternatives to app store, according to FT

Apple is reportedly facing a €500m fine from the EU over restrictions on access to music streaming services, in what would be a landmark blow to the US tech company.

The European Commission is investigating whether Apple blocked music streamers from telling users about cheaper ways to subscribe outside its app store where it takes a significant cut of revenues.
