Apple to soon let you record calls, but only after informing participants

Apple announced a new feature in its iOS 18 software that allows users to record and transcribe phone conversations. The feature automatically notifies participants that they are being recorded and provides a soundwave of the recording along with a time stamp. The transcription is done in the Notes app and can also create a summary of the call. Available in multiple languages, this feature has been celebrated by journalists and content creators as a free alternative to subscription-based transcription services. Apple also announced the integration of OpenAI models into its products and improvements to its voice assistant Siri. Privacy is emphasized as a core value in all new features.

Spotify to add price information in its app on Apple devices in EU

Spotify will finally include prices of its plans and services in its app on Apple devices in the European Union, after previously being rejected by Apple. The rejection was due to Spotify not accepting Apple's new terms for informing users of other ways to purchase. While Spotify now accepts those terms, its iOS app will not provide an external link for purchases to avoid paying Apple a commission. This is seen as a small step towards improving the app experience for iPhone users. Apple made it easier for music streaming apps to communicate with users in the EU after being fined by the EU for anti-competitive practices. Apple has not yet commented on the update.

Apple reportedly faces its first EU antitrust fine

The European Union is expected to fine Apple approximately 500 million euros ($539 million) for allegedly breaching EU competition rules. The fine is a result of Apple's actions to hinder rival music streaming services from informing users about cheaper alternatives outside of the App Store. The investigation began after Spotify filed a complaint in 2019. Apple recently announced changes to comply with the Digital Markets Act, reducing the commission from 30% to 17%. Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek, criticized the changes, stating they could lead to astronomical fees for popular apps.
