• Spotify and Epic Games have criticized the latest changes made by Apple to the App Store rules in the European Union. They argue that the changes are "confusing" and do not go far enough in addressing the concerns of app developers regarding Apple's control over the App Store. The companies claim that the changes still allow Apple to "abuse its dominant position" and prevent them from offering alternative payment options to users.

• The article notes that the new EU rules require Apple to allow developers to include links and buttons in their apps that direct users to alternative payment options outside of the App Store. However, Spotify and Epic Games argue that this does not go far enough, as Apple can still impose restrictions on how these links and buttons are presented to users. They believe that Apple should be required to allow developers to use their own payment systems within their apps without any interference from Apple.

• The article also mentions that Spotify and Epic Games have been long-standing critics of Apple's App Store policies, particularly the 30% commission that Apple charges on in-app purchases. They have argued that these policies stifle competition and innovation in the app ecosystem. The companies are calling on the EU to take stronger action to address these concerns and ensure a more level playing field for app developers.
