Epic Games and Spotify test Apple’s new App Store rules

Apple’s updated App Store policies are being tested by major companies like Epic Games and Spotify as they seek to adapt to new rules after previous rejections. Epic had Fortnite removed in 2020 due to direct payments but now aims to comply under Apple's revised guidelines, while Spotify plans to allow individual audiobook purchases for Premium users. These changes, including Amazon’s Kindle purchase button and clearer subscription pricing transparency, could open up new opportunities for tech giants but pose challenges for smaller developers reliant on the App Store.
