according to fast technology on september 19, the iphone 16 series review has been released. after testing by blogger huangjia, all four models of the iphone 16 series can use wechat, dispelling previous rumors.

earlier on september 2, the topic "apple wechat" topped the weibo hot search list. at that time, there was news that wechat might not support iphone 16, 15 series and other older models must not update the system.

as soon as the news came out, it caused heated discussion. apple customer service responded, saying that wechat is an app that customers use very frequently, and the new iphone will not shut down and deprive customers of the app permissions that they used normally.

it is understood that the dispute between apple and wechat originated from the "apple tax". people familiar with the matter said that in recent months, apple has been asking tencent and bytedance to plug loopholes in the wechat and douyin applications, because the loophole can be exploited by creators within the application to direct users to external payment systems, thereby avoiding the 30% commission that apple usually charges.

public information shows that apple tax has existed since the establishment of the app store in 2008, and has become an important source of revenue for apple today. according to sensor tower data, apple tax global revenue will reach approximately 160.8 billion yuan in 2023, of which the chinese market will contribute more than 40 billion.

last month, at tencent's second quarter earnings conference call, the company's chief strategy officer james mitchell said that tencent is currently negotiating with apple and hopes to achieve a positive result that is a win-win for all three parties.
