Spotify now allows subscribers to see audiobook pricing and make purchases using a web view in the Spotify app on iOS.
Initially, Apple rejected Spotify's audiobook update multiple times due to rule violations regarding app communication about purchasing options outside the App Store.
Following U.S. App Store changes, Spotify can now direct customers to purchase audiobooks through its app without in-app purchases, benefiting both users and content creators.
Apple is appealing the court ruling that led to these changes, giving developers more freedom in directing customers to external purchase options within their apps.
