Today’s hot search: What would you do if Apple really removed WeChat?

Today, many topics related to Apple on WeChat rushed to the hot search list.One of the topics, "If Apple really removes WeChat," triggered widespread heated discussion among netizens.Some netizens wrote that if Apple really removes WeChat, I will have no choice but to change my phone. The netizen said that he is a heavy Apple user and has become dependent on the Apple ecosystem. Changing the phone is a very helpless choice, rather than being motivated or supporting anyone.

WeChat has long been integrated into our lives. Missing QQ is no problem, but missing WeChat will cause huge problems at least in a short period of time.Maybe they think this is just a chat tool. No matter what, Tencent will be invincible in social networking in the next 10 years, and Apple should reduce its commission.

In the comment area, many netizens also expressed their "support for WeChat." In the view of some netizens, WeChat is irreplaceable, but Apple can be replaced.

According to reports, the root cause of Apple’s dispute over WeChat is the “Apple tax.” Mini-games in WeChat and Douyin can bypass the Apple payment system. Users can enter the customer service session page through the game’s own customer service center entrance to recharge, thus avoiding the 30% commission fee usually charged by Apple.

In response, Apple asked Tencent and Byte to cooperate in blocking payment loopholes in WeChat and Douyin.

Industry insiders said that for consumers, they may find that the price of the same application or service on Apple's platform is higher than that on other platforms, which increases their cost of use.

For developers, the 30% Apple tax compresses their profit margins, and some small developers may even give up publishing apps on the Apple platform because they cannot afford the cost.

It is worth noting that the EU took the lead in taking action against the high Apple tax. Affected by the EU’s Digital Market Act,In the new version of iOS, Apple has reduced the AppStore commission for developers in the EU to as low as 10%, and has opened up third-party app stores to support sideloading.
