Apple’s antitrust case in the European Union (EU) centered around Spotify’s complaints from a couple of years ago will reach an end soon, with the EU expected to bring charges against the iPhone maker by the end of the week. Apple has been at the center of antitrust disputes in the past few years. Some companies are alleging that Apple has too much control over its ecosystem, or voicing their concerns about specific Apple’s App Store regulations (in-app transaction commission, unavailability of alternate payment options). Spotify, which competes directly against Apple Music, isn’t the only company targeting Apple. Facebook has long-criticized Apple’s privacy features in iOS. More recently, Epic Games sued Apple after engineering a situation that forced Apple to ban Fortnite from the App Store on iPhone and Mac.
It’s unclear what the EU’s ruling will be, but the EU’s Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager is expected to charge Apple over antitrust practices this week.
