(Reuters) - Apple's proposed changes for its App Store policies "disregard" the European Union's new competition law for Big Tech firms and amplify its dominance over app developers, a group of more than 30 tech firms and associations, including Spotify, said on Friday.

The move is the latest in an effort led by Spotify Technology against the iPhone maker's App Store policies, which some developers and firms regard as unfair.
