🚨#APPLE EASES NFT, CRYPTO #RULES FOR iOS #Apps AFTER ANTITRUST RULING. MAY 2, 2025

🔹Apple Loosens Restrictions: Apple updates iOS guidelines after antitrust ruling, allowing developers to offer external payment methods and enable NFT purchases from secondary markets on iPhones and iPads.

🔹Impact of Legal Case: The change follows a U.S. District Court ruling that found Apple violated a 2021 injunction by restricting external purchases.

🔹Limits on Crypto Apps: While NFT sales and external links are now permitted, Apple maintains strict limits on crypto-related features, such as prohibiting ICO facilitation and digital asset mining within apps.

🔹Comparison with Google: Google already updated its policies in 2023 to allow NFTs for unlocking content, while Apple has made more gradual changes.

🔹Ongoing Restrictions: In-app purchases for premium content or boosts are still subject to Apple's standard fees.

🔹This marks a significant shift in the mobile app industry, potentially enabling broader crypto-native app development.
