#AppleCryptoUpdate Apple has recently eased restrictions on developers' ability to offer iPhone and iPad apps that direct users to external purchasing methods, including for NFTs and crypto. This move comes after an antitrust ruling, allowing developers to link to external websites and purchase digital goods and services outside of the App Store's ecosystem ¹.

Some key changes include ¹:

- *External Linking*: Developers can now link to external websites, enabling users to purchase digital goods and services outside of the app.

- *NFTs and Crypto*: Apple's updated guidelines permit developers to offer NFTs and crypto-related services, providing more flexibility for app developers.

- *Increased Flexibility*: Developers can now create apps that interact with external platforms, expanding their reach and capabilities.

Popular crypto apps like Coinbase are already available on the App Store, allowing users to buy, sell, and manage cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Other crypto-related apps, such as Crypto News, provide real-time news, price updates, and portfolio management tools ² ³.
