Apple's response, in a nutshell:
- A weird callout to the nationality of the company right out of the gate
- Spotify will be nothing without us (insert crazy ex memes)
- "Our engineering helps ensure that Spotify’s apps can work seamlessly with Siri, CarPlay, Apple Watch, AirPlay, Widgets, and more." -- yeah, because those are your products, Apple. You make your money on those products being tightly integrated
- A bizarre quantization of the apple ecosystem by total number of "APIs" Apple gives them access to (250k)
- A claim of insider coercion between Spotify and the EU Commission that made it difficult for Apple to win
- They are going to appeal
