Apple relaxes restrictions on in-app purchases for iOS, allowing developers to guide users to use external payment methods, which is undoubtedly a major benefit for the entire Web3 ecosystem. For a long time, crypto-related apps have been limited by Apple's high commission and strict scrutiny, and the new policy effectively opens the floodgates for projects like NFTs, e-commerce, and blockchain games.
In particular, blockchain games and social DApps will have the opportunity to provide a more complete Web3 experience in the App Store, without having to redirect users to web operations. User conversion rates and engagement are expected to improve.
This is not just a policy relaxation, but may also be an important turning point for Web2 platforms to compromise with Web3. Whether it can truly become widespread in the future will depend on the innovation speed of developers and whether user education can keep up.
