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 look forward to a day where third party app stores are allowed to exist on iOS, should it ever come.
