Spotify’s iPhone app could soon sell audiobooks with links, too

"Spotify's iOS app update could pave the way for more affordable audiobooks in the U.S., as the company finally enables top-up purchases via links within the app. This move follows Apple's recent legal ruling that blocked Spotify from charging a 27% commission on purchases made outside its App Store, forcing the streaming service to remove audiobook purchases from its in-app store altogether. While Spotify previously relied on external email links for these purchases, the update aims to make pricing clearer for developers while awaiting official approval."
