Spotify’s iPhone app will now let you easily buy audiobooks
1 min read
Summary
Spotify has begun to roll out the facility to purchase audiobooks through its iOS app, having had the feature approved by Apple, thus pleasing consumers in the US who will be able to see pricing and purchase audiobooks externally.
The move comes following last month’s ruling in the Epic Games vs Apple case, which meant that Apple could not impose its previous restrictions on external purchases.
Spotify had previously pulled the facility to purchase audiobooks on its iOS app, citing Apple’s “anti-competitive” rules.
Other companies including Amazon, Patreon and Delta have also taken advantage of the ruling to improve their offerings on Apple devices.
Fortnite maker Epic Games is still pushing to have the game reinstated on the App Store.
