For anyone who understands how NFTs and blockchains work, this is clearly not possible. Apple’s proprietary In-App Purchase system does not support crypto so we couldn’t comply even if we tried.
This is akin to Apple trying to take a cut of fees for every email that gets sent over open Internet protocols.
No, only the ones sent using their hardware. And I think there’s no law or regulation that would forbid them from doing that.
Similarly, if, currently, the App Store model doesn’t support what Coinbase wants to do, they shouldn’t have made an app.
(this isn’t a statement about the desirability of the current situation)
Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying my iPhone belongs to Apple?
(I may be confused by how you mean "their hardware".)
> No, only the ones sent using [an app distributed via Apple's App Store].
I don't want to speak for anyone, but that's (probably) more accurate to the intended meaning.
They're lucky that the US has the particular form of "democracy" that they do, because I suspect the current regulations aren't exactly "the will of the people".
Oh, wait, they can just pay in dollars. I don't think that Coinbase has their problem solving hat on :)
