recently, news about microsoft not supporting iphone has been a hot topic on the internet. regardless of the outcome, both options are obvious in the chinese market. according to the news currently circulating on the internet, wechat may not be available after upgrading to ios 18.2. however, apple technical consultants said that they had internally checked the relevant information and did not find such a situation.

at the same time, tencent also stated that such a problem did not occur.

in fact, there is a more important point of conflict between the two companies - apple tax. it is reported that apple is increasing pressure on chinese social media platforms (such as wechat) and asking them to cooperate in plugging payment loopholes in applications such as wechat and tiktok. if these platforms cannot eliminate the ability of developers and users to bypass the apple ecosystem, they will refuse to provide updates for these applications in the future.

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 such 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 issue is still under discussion and we hope to reach a positive result. although it is not yet certain which one will be the first choice between wechat and iphone, it can be seen that both have an important influence in the chinese market.
