#AppleCryptoUpdate

Apple has been making significant changes to its policies regarding cryptocurrency and digital assets. Here are some key updates:

- *Allowing Crypto Payments*: Apple has lifted its iOS restrictions, permitting in-app purchases involving Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This means crypto apps can now process payments directly within apps on the Apple App Store without paying the 30% Apple tax.

- *NFC Technology Access*: Apple has opened up its NFC chip to third-party developers, enabling them to integrate blockchain-based payments on Apple devices. This move could lead to broader adoption of digital currencies for everyday payments.

- *Post-Quantum Cryptography*: Apple has introduced post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in its iMessage app to protect user communications from potential quantum computer threats. This upgrade provides protocol protections that surpass those in other widely deployed messaging apps.
