This is not a battle that Apple can win. Removing WeChat from the AppStore would cost Apple far more than it would cost Tencent and they both know it, so that is no credible threat.
- shykes 9y agoIs that true even when taking into account the possibility of WeChat wanting to expand globally? If that's the case, being shut out of iOS seems like it would be an unsurmountable obstacle.
