according to beike finance, apple's technical consultant in china responded that whether wechat can continue to be used on ios systems or apple devices, and whether wechat can continue to be available and downloaded on the apple app store, requires communication and discussion between apple and tencent to determine the future situation. currently, apple is actively communicating with tencent to confirm whether tencent will continue to provide a commission for software downloads to the apple app store.

regarding the "apple tax", tencent management responded at the second quarter 2024 earnings conference held in august: "we are not currently monetizing mini programs on ios through in-app transactions. i believe that if this monetization can be achieved, it will not only be in our interests, but also in the interests of apple, and even more in the interests of game developers and users. but we hope to achieve this goal under economically sustainable and fair conditions. therefore, this discussion is ongoing, and we hope to reach a positive result because it will be a win-win situation for all parties."
