Spotify releases a new iOS update allowing customers to subscribe without going through Apple in response to a US federal judge's ruling.
The update enables Spotify to include subscription details and offers outside the App Store, bypassing the 30% cut from in-app payments by Apple.
Despite the swift update, Spotify has yet to offer AirPlay 2 support and native HomePod integration for Apple devices, causing concerns among subscribers.
Some users believe that focusing on generating revenue through non-Apple subscription links may be prioritized over enhancing the user experience for Apple customers.
