Apple Approves Spotify For iPhone Even If It Allows You To Create Offline Playlists

Today was the “approval day” for many iPhone apps which led us to think that something must have happened with Apple. Something very strange, but who cares? They’re approving apps we like and apps that we were expecting for quite a while. The latest approved useful iPhone app? Spotify. I know it sounds weird, but Apple has approved another streaming and subscription music service and this is weird because Spotify allows iPhone users to create playlists offline.

Spotify was dubbed as the iTunes killer as you can cache the tracks you like and create a playlist later on when there is no WiFi or phone service. I don’t know how and why, but it seems like Apple has approved an app which could have been rejected with ease as it’s a duplication of core iPhone functionality, as the Cupertino-based company likes to say.

The key to this approval is that the app is available only in the UK, Spain, France, Norway, Finland, and Sweden so far for a price of £9.99 per month. Although everybody is expecting Spotify for iPhone to become available in the US later this year, we can tell that there might be a chance for it to be rejected, but if it comes to the App Store then it might lack some features.
