The European Commission works very hard at making Europe really unattractive to non-EU businesses. Apple is no angel, but the obvious bias in favour of Spotify is kind of ridiculous, but luckily they don't have a leg to stand on if this case goes to court, so my prediction will be that Apple will eventually prevail in this particular case.

How much longer the company will put up with the constant anti-Apple antics of the EU when Google is SITTING RIGHT OVER THERE VIOLATING EVERY EU DIRECTIVE ON PRIVACY remains to be seen. Apple would hate to give up the EU market but I have a feeling the loss of some products and services in the EU because of untenable regulations is going to be part of their future, which makes me feel bad for innocent EU consumers.

Well, you are all forgetting that this is Apple in Europe, where all the courts become kangaroo courts and deliver their verdicts based on the desired outcome, not the law. These plaintiffs will prevail because the EU will want them to prevail.
