Ironically, Apple was recently forced to allow such third-party digital wallet functionality on iPhones in the EU through that bloc&#8217;s recently enforced Digital Markets Act, but \u2013 Apple being Apple \u2013 it only opened it up in the EU and nowhere else. other part.<\/p><div id=\"forum-3836771906\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Apple is also accused of &#8220;disrupting&#8221; so-called &#8220;super apps&#8221; (think WeChat\/Weixin in China and you get the idea, we&#8217;re talking about apps that are messaging apps, payment apps, shopping apps and even hubs for other apps all at the same time).
