Apple has filed a lawsuit with Europe’s General Court over the EU’s decision to fine it for Apple Music‘s alleged unfair competition practices against Spotify.
In March 2024, the European Union fined Apple $1.8 billion for what it called a violation of antitrust rules. Specifically, it said that Apple was preventing users from being told of “alternative, cheaper music services available outside of the Apple eco system.”
However, the accusation ignored how Spotify holds more than twice the market share of Apple Music despite this alleged preventing users knowing about it. Now according to Bloomberg, Apple has taken its case to the EU General Court in Luxembourg.
