Spotify反擊!App Store大戰再起?




Spotify向Apple提交應用程式更新,加入購買訂閱的外部連結

瑞典音樂串流巨頭Spotify於星期四表示,已向蘋果公司提交一項應用程式更新,內含可直接跳轉至外部購買訂閱的連結。此舉是因為美國法官判定蘋果違反了允許應用下載競爭的命令,要求蘋果不得對應用程式外的購買收取新佣金。

Spotify在致蘋果的信件中指出,將根據周三的法院裁決對美國版應用程式進行調整。該裁決明確要求蘋果不得對應用程式外的交易徵收新佣金。Spotify在官方博客中表示:「我們無法提供這些法官四年前已批准的基本服務,實在荒謬。」

蘋果方面暫未回應路透社的置評請求。

美國加州奧克蘭聯邦地區法官伊馮娜·岡薩雷斯·羅傑斯在一份長達80頁的判決書中指出,蘋果未遵守她先前在Epic Games提出的反壟斷訴訟中頒布的禁令。Epic Games正是知名遊戲《Fortnite》的開發商。

蘋果聲稱「強烈反對」該判決,惟會遵守法院命令,並計劃提出上訴。

Spotify與蘋果長期存在激烈競爭,焦點集中在蘋果App Store的政策及其對串流服務營運的影響。早於2024年8月,Spotify已在其蘋果裝置應用中更新,展示其多種訂閱方案及價格資訊,此舉是在蘋果曾多次拒絕後才得以推行,並主要針對歐盟市場。

同日,蘋果宣布將其股份回購計劃縮減100億美元,執行長Tim Cook向分析師透露,關稅可能令本季度成本增加約9億美元。

編輯評論:從法律戰到市場博弈,Spotify和蘋果的角力揭示數碼生態系統的未來

Spotify這次透過法院裁決,成功迫使蘋果在其生態系統中打開一道通往外部購買的通道,對整個App Store的封閉生態系統形成挑戰。這不僅是對蘋果商業模式的一次衝擊,更象徵著用戶自由選擇權的逐步回歸。

蘋果長期以來透過嚴格控制應用內購買和抽成,建立起龐大的收入壁壘,這使得許多開發者和服務提供商感到受限。Spotify的勝訴反映出監管機構和司法系統對大型科技公司壟斷行為的關注越來越嚴格,這將可能推動更多科技巨頭重新檢視其平台政策。

然而,蘋果仍堅持上訴,顯示它不願輕易放棄其利潤豐厚且具控制力的生態系統。對消費者而言,這場爭鬥的結果將直接影響他們在手機應用中如何購買服務、享有多少選擇自由。

此外,蘋果自身正面臨成本上升與市場不確定性,縮減回購計劃或是對未來財務狀況的謹慎表現。這一切都預示著,未來幾年科技巨頭間的競爭將更加激烈,監管壓力與市場動態交織,將深刻影響整個數碼經濟的生態格局。

對香港及全球用戶來說,這場爭議不僅是技術或法律問題,更關乎數碼時代的消費者權益與選擇自由,值得持續關注。
