Bad Apple: Spotify

[perfectpullquote align=”left” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Recode: Spotify says Apple won’t approve a new version of its app because it doesn’t want competition for Apple Music[/perfectpullquote]

As a customer I think this is not really good for us. The Apple Music is not inexpensive, well at least higher monthly subscription fees than Spotify. In Malaysia we pay around RM16 – RM17 while you can get RM10/month for Spotify or you can get it free with many Telco in Malaysia.

Spotify has to stay survive in this economy, as of now, Apple are still charging 30% for every sign up through AppStore. It might change when the new iOS roll out later this year.

As a customer, I like how Spotify approaches the local Telco to have a better deal for the users. That don’t sit well with Apple apparently.
