@daringfireball Aren’t you overthinking this one a little bit. You act as if Spotify is trying to do something nefarious. Ask a random person and I think “letting Spotify use the volume buttons” is utterly reasonable.

And trust me, I loathe Spotify with the heat of a thousand data centers.

@Strwpok I’m just saying it’s not worth Apple’s energy to fight all these fights

@raoufdool Apple aren’t picking these fights. Spotify are the one who weaponised the EU against them.

@Strwpok Steve Jobs closing off Apple products “picked” this fight
