Apple Accepts EU Demand to Allow Payment Links from Music-Streaming Apps

Apple Inc. said it has accepted European Union demands to stop preventing music-streaming apps from informing users of deals away from the company’s App Store, although it will still charge a fee on those sales. The Cupertino, California-based iPhone maker said that music streaming apps on its App Store in Europe can now include a link to the developer’s website, informing users of alternative ways of buying subscriptions.
