cailianshe reported on september 2 that there was a rumor online that "iphone 16 may not support wechat". in response, the reporter called apple's official hotline. the technical consultant of apple china who answered the call said that third-party comments about whether ios systems or apple devices can use wechat again, including whether wechat can continue to be listed and downloaded in the apple app store in the future, need to be communicated and discussed between apple and tencent to determine the situation in the future. the technical consultant mentioned that in order to list software on the apple store, developers may need to pay apple a certain fee before they can list or download it. "app developers list software on the apple app store. when the software reaches a certain number of downloads, as long as a user downloads the software once in the future, the developer will have to pay apple a certain fee." he said that at present, apple is actively communicating with tencent to confirm whether tencent will continue to provide a commission for software downloads to the apple app store in the future. however, he also mentioned that as a relatively popular software, both parties will make certain arrangements for their corresponding benefits, so there is no need to worry for the time being. "everyone is concerned about whether wechat can still be downloaded and used in the future. we need to wait for the official notification. we cannot make any judgment on third-party information. the above explanation is for reference only." said the technical consultant.
