And they aren't even allowed to only charge Apple Users 30% more

Can you point to a source of this? I think this was true in the past but isn't any longer. YouTube Premium is more expensive through iOS for example.

What's not allowed is telling the users that it's available for cheaper in other places. But you can charge as much as you want.

This is correct. They are allowed to charge whatever they want via iOS subscription, so that they could cover the 30% "Appple Tax" if they wanted to. They just can't tell people that they could get Spotify cheaper direct, which is the source of this antitrust action.

Even that last part isn’t true anymore.

Spotify is free to link outside the app and inform of better deals.
