Streaming giant Spotify, no stranger to controversy itself, has filed a complaint to the European Commission about iPhone behemoth Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL).

Based on information provided by an unnamed source, Spotify has complained to the European Commission about something but what that something might be was not specified.

The source claimed that as a result of Spotify sticking its oar in, the Commission’s investigation will now include a raft of additional anti-competitive charges.
