Spotify Is Dominating Music and Now Has a $2 Billion Win Over Apple

An E.U. fine against Apple is further evidence Spotify has won despite having a losing hand.

By Travis Hoium – Mar 7, 2024 at 7:00AM EST

Spotify (SPOT 0.59%) has had an uphill battle against Apple (AAPL 2.30%) from the start, fighting against an integrated music service that had an inherent cost advantage. Yet, Spotify has more market share in music than Apple and now Europe is imposing a $2 billion fine against the tech giant for unfair business practices.

In this video, Travis Hoium shows why Apple was fined and how this is another tailwind for Spotify.
