Surprisingly, the biggest NFT news this week came via tech giant Apple.
After losing a key court battle with Epic Games, Apple bent the knee and eased its App Store restrictions. Among other things, the withdrawal means U.S. mobile apps can now support NFT sales.
Why's this matter? Because NFT projects like OpenSea and Magic Eden can finally offer direct buying experiences in their iOS apps instead of just browse-only interfaces, which was their big limitation previously.
Plus, the ruling also blocked Apple from charging its infamous 27% cut on external purchases, paving the way for more crypto-native apps to be accessible and profitable.
These are huge wins for NFT projects focused on mobile adoption, so let's see who dives into the breach first here!
