- An incoming version of the IOS of Spotify contains changes in audiobooks
- If Apple approves it, it will allow you to buy audiobooks through application links
- Premium subscribers can also buy hours of ‘recharge’ for audiobooks
Spotify You are looking to improve your iOS experience for audiobook fans in the US. Uu. allowing them to buy audiobooks (through links) and ‘recharge’ hours from the Spotify application.
The transmission giant has sent an update to its App Store to Apple list that would allow you to add links and pricing information for audiobooks to the Spotify application, allowing US users to use external links to buy audiobooks.
If Apple approves the update of the Spotify iPhone application, users who are not Premium will be able to buy individual audiobooks and premium subscribers can buy additional hours of ‘recharge’ to listen to audiolibros.
Spotify already offers 15 free monthly audiobook transmission for premium users, and this update would allow them to further access the Spotify Audiolibros Library, if they are willing to pay.
This news continues The recent Spotify iOS updatewhich issued in response to Epic Games vs Apple Legal Battle, which turned out that Apple had to relieve its control over the App Store.
Why is this happening?
Apple had previously limited the extent to which developers could announce and use link options to payment outside the App Store, where Apple could take a 30% cut of purchases in the application.
From this ruling, Apple has been ordered to stop taking the purchasing commission made through external links, creating the opportunity for Spotify to seek more income from App Store’s purchases.
In a blog post, Spotify said: “Help the playing field leveling by allowing developers to offer basic pricing information and easy -to -access links to buy digital products through iPhones without unnecessary steps or additional taxes collected by Apple.
This change also unlocks new income opportunities for publishers and authors of the audiobook, allowing them to reach fans and access new audiences without problems. “
Previously, Spotify tried to overcome Apple’s App Store restrictions by not showing audiobook prices in the application, instead, sending links to users where they could buy audiobooks on the web.
This change would make a big difference for the Spotify audiobook library, and would mean that the transmission service would not have to take alternative measures to improve access to audiobook and income opportunities. Now we are just waiting for Spotify to show a similar sense of urgency by bringing us Spotify Hifi.
