with Europe's competition watchdog, arguing that the way it runs the App Store is anti-competitive.about the fact app makers have to hand over 30% of paid apps, in-app subscriptions, and purchases to Apple. The upshot is that if you pay $9.99 through iTunes for your Spotify account, Spotify has to give $3 of that to Apple.
