Maybe if Spotify actually listened to their customers complaints and released features like offline playback on the Apple Watch, they wouldn’t have to complain themselves! I have been a Spotify user since 2013 but I don’t think I will be much longer! It’s 2020 and I still have to take my phone to the Gym 🤬🤬

Spotify Says Apple One Bundle Will Cause 'Irreparable Harm to Developer Community'

Psst... Don't tell Nintendo that cause they have been at it for decades.
What's stopping Amazon from doing this though? They have Kindles and Fire TVs that use Fire OS so it's not like there is much really stopping Amazon from creating a phone that uses everything they've already made.
I already subscribe to Apple Music (Family), Apple TV+, and iCloud 200GB storage plan, so getting a plan that's a few bucks cheaper a month and includes Apple Arcade is pretty good for me.
May consider Apple One Premiere next year, as the 2TB of iCloud storage, with Apple News+ thrown in sounds somewhat decent.

saving money is a good thing. no one is telling Spotify they can't do package deals with Hulu or other services.
So Spotify is mad because Apple Music now is way more interesting for customers because of the cheaper bundles?
Screw Spotify, maybe they should rethink how they do business and get similar bundles with other services for their customers.

The whole point right now is for everyone and their grandmother to point at Apple and ignore the much worse companies.
I too love visiting the Apple iBooks store on an Amazon Kindle....
Spotify is hilarious. As a developer I feel like I would save money by subscribing to AppleOne. Where’s the harmful part? 🤔
I don't see Spotify's side. Nothing about Apple's bundles affects Spotify's user-base.
It’s not consumer friendly. Apple Music used to cost me $10 a month which was already higher than I wanted to pay. Now Apple wants me to pay $15 a month just for Apple Music because I wouldn’t be using the other services.
Apple One may make sense for some but for me it’s trash.
This plus the lack of X-Cloud support.... ANDROID is looking better and better each day.
I never everrrrrrr thought about leaving Apple before and here we are.
I can't leave Apple entirely because I've bought so much music, TV, film through iTunes over the years.
But I would like to.
But I don't want to be a green bubble.

What’s a joke. I tried Spotify and hated it. And they didn’t want to know when I could get my subscription up and running properly.
I for one will be very happy that I can get services I want from apple bundled into one package cheaper than I would if I got them all individually.

Every vendor has to pay on every platform. Apple Music has to pay for being on Google Play store.
ATT just offered me 6 months of Spotify for free last week and bundles it with their unlimited and more plans
edit: it was actually a year not 6 months

I’m really struggling to see what the basis is for their argument here?
I suppose the same could be said for Amazon Prime and the Disney+, ESPN, Hulu bundle.
Jesus...everyone wants to pull at Apple's pant leg these days.

Pretty sure amazon designed their Fire Tablets, Kindles, and Alexa speakers. Sure the fire tablet runs android, but it’s a custom version from Amazon. Try again.
I call everyone to boycott all these horrible companies like Spotify and Epic. Their behaviour is hypocritic and immoral. Desperate for cash that’s all. Hey, let’s work harder on your products and offer something better to convince me to buy your services. That’s how it’s done in the free market. How dare you Apple to bundle your services on your platform that you worked on for so many years. Jesus Christ...
