EU antitrust rules were violated and Apple is ordered to allow other music streaming services to advertise cheaper deals outside of the App Store. ## Content Apple has been hit with a €1.8 billion fine by the EU for stifling music streaming rivals and imposing anti-steering provisions on app developers, which is a violation of EU antitrust rules. The European Commission found that Apple restricted developers from informing consumers about cheaper music streaming services and forced them to use Apple's tools without compensation. As a result, Apple has been ordered to allow other music streaming services to advertise cheaper deals outside of the App Store. This decision by the EU validates concerns raised by Spotify, which holds a majority market share in Europe. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@perseon** · 0 upvotes > so little, so late.. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/apple-slapped-with-1-84bn-fine-by-eu-for-antitrust-violations-in-music-streaming-market-wd2y1vzva) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Apple Slapped with €1.84BN Fine by EU for Antitrust Violations in Music Streaming Market","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-slapped-with-1-84bn-fine-by-eu-for-antitrust-violations-in-music-streaming-market-wd2y1vzva","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-slapped-with-1-84bn-fine-by-eu-for-antitrust-violations-in-music-streaming-market-wd2y1vzva"},"datePublished":"2024-03-04T12:12:03.820Z","dateModified":"2024-03-06T05:03:57.427Z","description":"Apple has been fined €1.8B by the EU for stifling music streaming rivals and imposing anti-steering provisions.
