🚫 No More Fear Pop-Ups — Apple Can’t Scare Users Anymore
I’ve tracked Apple’s services growth amid iPhone sales plateau, and this ruling threatens the golden goose: commissions on off-app sales that feed its $80B services juggernaut. 📱
That means no more fearmongering pop-ups deterring users from external payments. 😱🚫
Key takeaways:
🧠 No More Scare Tactics: Apple can’t use guilt or fear to keep users in-app.
🌍 Global Implications: While the changes apply only in the U.S., regulators worldwide are watching — and preparing similar reforms.
🔗 Developer Freedom: Apps like Spotify and Patreon can now put external purchase links front and center.
🎨 NFT Sales Allowed: Apple clarified that NFT minting, listing, and transfers are okay via in-app features — even as external links open broader payment options.
