In early May 2023, after a U.S. court ruled that Apple violated antitrust injunctions, it eased restrictions on cryptocurrency and NFT applications in the App Store. Developers can now add external payment links in iOS apps and allow users to purchase NFTs through third-party marketplaces without having to pay the 'Apple tax' of up to 30% that Apple previously charged. This change brings greater flexibility to crypto applications, promotes Web3 innovation, and enhances user experience. However, Apple still prohibits in-app cryptocurrency mining and token reward features.
