It's a post-Digital Markets Act (DMA) world, and Spotify continues to test what that means for its iOS app. The music streamer announced that it submitted an update for Apple's approval that would allow Spotify to display "basic pricing and website information" on its app in Europe and "the bare minimum outlined under the European Commission's ruling in its music streaming case."

NFC in the iPhone is chiefly used for Apple Pay In January, Apple agreed that it would open up its NFC hardware to any developer for the purposes of performing contactless payments.
