Rumor refuted! Apple officially denies that WeChat does not support iPhone 16

According to news on September 3, a few days ago, "Apple WeChat" and other related topics were on Weibo hot searches. It is reported that WeChat may not support the new iPhone 16 mobile phone due to Apple’s previous Apple tax on WeChat ecosystem developers. In response, Apple's official customer service responded today, "There is currently no such information saying that iPhone 16 does not support WeChat," and said, "Don't worry, current iPhones can use WeChat normally." At the same time, there is no inquiry when logging into Apple's official website Any iPhone does not support or is not compatible with WeChat. According to sources, business negotiations between Tencent and Apple are still ongoing, and the "Apple tax" issue for small and medium-sized developers in the WeChat ecosystem should be the focus. Tencent executives have previously responded at the financial report: "I think everyone has some misunderstandings about the nature of the current situation, that is, we are currently not commercializing small games on iOS through in-app purchases (bypassing payments)." Tencent said it hopes to achieve commercialization on economically sustainable and fair terms, and this discussion is currently ongoing. Hopefully the discussion will have a positive outcome as it will be a win-win-win. The above-mentioned sources pointed out that WeChat currently does not take a commission on the iOS side. Behind this round of Apple tax controversy, WeChat is mainly to protect the rights and interests of small and medium-sized developers in the ecosystem. Previous Nikkei public reports showed that small program developers generally believe that the 30% Apple tax is squeezing their living space, because most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises with about 10 employees and current profit margins of less than 12%. Once the Apple tax is imposed, the living space for developers will be very narrow.
