蘋果在美國地方法院做出決定後修改了其iOS App Store規則

法院命令蘋果在App Store外面的購買費用上拖下付款費，並消除其對外部付款鏈接的限制。

A U.S. District Court has adjusted Apple's iOS App Store rules following a ruling in the Epic Games antitrust case. The court ordered Apple to drop its payment fees on purchases made outside the app and remove restrictions on external payment links.

在史詩般的遊戲反托拉斯案件中的一項裁決之後，美國地方法院已調整了蘋果的iOS應用商店規則。法院命令蘋果在應用程序之外進行的購買並取消對外部付款鏈接的限制。

According to the updated guidelines, Apple apps will now allow users to be redirected to secondary NFT marketplaces and external payment methods.

根據更新的指南，Apple應用程序現在將允許用戶重定向到二級NFT市場和外部付款方式。

The court found that Apple violated a prior order by limiting developers' ability to direct users to external websites. This ruling follows a 2021 decision where a judge ordered Apple to cease blocking developers from notifying users about alternative payment options.

法院發現，蘋果通過限制開發人員將用戶引導到外部網站的能力而違反了先前的訂單。該裁決是在2021年的決定之後的，法官下令蘋果停止阻止開發人員通知用戶有關替代付款方式的通知。

After the ruling, Apple moved to eliminate the requirement for apps to use its proprietary in-app payment system for subscriptions and other purchases. The updates also allow apps to display links to NFT marketplaces and permit users to purchase NFTs through an external platform.

裁定後，蘋果採取行動消除了應用程序使用其專有應用內支付系統進行訂閱和其他購買的要求。這些更新還允許應用程序顯示指向NFT市場的鏈接，並允許用戶通過外部平台購買NFT。

Apple's New Policies Support NFT and Crypto Innovation

蘋果的新政策支持NFT和加密創新

The updated policies allow developers to list and transfer NFTs inside the app but purchases must be made outside the app. The modification intends to promote innovation so that innovative crypto-native applications can enter the iOS platform.

更新的策略使開發人員可以在應用程序內列出和傳輸NFT，但必須在應用程序之外進行購買。修改旨在促進創新，以便創新的加密本地應用程序可以進入iOS平台。

OpenSea and similar apps that were previously restricted now allow users to browse third-party NFTs. However, Apple still restricts the use of applications to mine cryptocurrencies or distribute token rewards.

Opensea和以前限制的類似應用程序現在允許用戶瀏覽第三方NFT。但是，蘋果仍然限制使用應用程序來開採加密貨幣或分發令牌獎勵。

The updated policies, which come into effect on December 1, also prohibit applications from ICO issuance or internal generation of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, Apple restricts iOS devices from mining crypto.

更新的政策將於12月1日生效，還禁止申請ICO發行或內部加密貨幣。此外，Apple將iOS設備限制在採礦加密貨幣中。

The NFT and cryptocurrency sectors have welcomed the court’s decision and Apple's revised policies. Experts believe these developments could foster innovation to allow developers to create mobile applications that interact with digital assets. This follows a similar trend in the tech industry where major players such as Google have eased their NFT restrictions in mobile apps.

NFT和加密貨幣部門歡迎法院的裁決和蘋果修訂的政策。專家認為，這些發展可以促進創新，以使開發人員能夠創建與數字資產相互作用的移動應用程序。這是在科技行業的類似趨勢之後，諸如Google之類的主要參與者緩解了移動應用程序中的NFT限制。

Tech Companies Vs Regulators

科技公司與監管機構

Apple retains several restrictions despite the new opportunities under the court’s decision. Apple has expressed dissatisfaction with the decision and has vowed to appeal. In a show of defiance, Apple has only made the modifications on the U.S. App Store.

儘管法院的裁決有新的機會，但蘋果仍保留了幾項限制。蘋果對該決定表示不滿，並發誓要提出上訴。為了表現出反對意見，蘋果只對美國應用商店進行了修改。

The court decision shows the increased tension between major tech companies and regulatory authorities. Major tech companies such as Apple continue to face challenges about their app store policies due to the shift in the legal landscape. This decision represents a major step in discussion about app store fees as well as developer freedoms in the digital asset space.

法院的裁決表明，主要科技公司與監管機構之間的緊張關係增加。蘋果等主要科技公司由於法律景觀的轉變而繼續面對其App Store政策面臨挑戰。該決定是討論應用商店費用以及數字資產領域開發人員自由的重要一步。
