Spotify Technology SA's chief executive officer (CEO) Daniel Ek escalated a long-time row with Apple Inc. after he accused it of consistently flouting the European Union's (EU) Big Tech rules.

Ek said that the iPhone maker's attempts to step into line with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) are a "farce." Instead, he said Apple used a "well-established pattern of delaying and stalling" its compliance with the DMA, which sets strict guardrails on the behaviour of the most powerful tech firms.
