The iPhone App Store in China is about to be more locked down.

China forced Apple to remove any app where the developer isn’t registered in China. Meaning they asked Apple to remove 95% of the apps and games available in the App Store.

Poor iPhone users, basically they will get a “wechat handheld” and that’s it…

      I don’t believe that for a second. Some specific apps are only on one platform or the other but every app has a ton of alternatives that do the exact same thing.

      I’m not sure if you are trolling, shilling, astroturfing, whatnot but either way that argument is disingenuous at best.

      none of the apps I use regularly on my iPhone are available on Android.

      Uh, yeah. That’s the point. It wouldn’t be Apple’s walled garden if you could just access those apps outside of iOS! You’re just used to that being the status quo…
