Unironically, I think that this could happen soon.
That sounds crazy, but here me out. Pretty recently there was an announcement regarding a streamer service, that would allow people to play Fortnite, from their phone, through a mobile safari
So, in order to block fortnite form being played on an iPhone, Apple would literally have to do what you are suggesting.
- Zr40 6y agoExcept that playing Fortnite isn't the thing that's being disallowed. It just happened to contain an in-app purchase system that did not use the Apple-approved method, and Fortnite's developers refused to remove that. Apple has always clearly stated that this is perfectly fine on websites, just not in apps.
- stale2002 6y ago> Except that playing Fortnite isn't the thing that's being disallowed Alright, and fortnite is now going to be playable with in web browser purchases, on the safari web browser pretty soon. So the purchases, without going through Apple, are going to happen on the iPhone, as well as the playing of fortnite on the iPhone. And Apple would have to prevent certain websites, if they wanted to stop those purchases that go outside of Apple's app system.

- selsta 6y agoApple does encourage streaming apps to use Safari, they even worked together with Amazon to improve Safari for game streaming: https://www.engadget.com/luna-amazon-cloud-gaming-interview-pwa-apple-173948922.html https://www.engadget.com/luna-amazon-cloud-gaming-interview-... So no, they are not going to block websites.
