If iOS 13 can no longer download WeChat, will you still use iPhone?

In 2019, Apple sent an email to all APP developers, requiring them to adapt their APP to the newly launched iOS 13 system. For example, the dark mode launched by iOS 13 will make the APP feel awkward if it cannot adapt to this mode. The phone has already entered the dark mode, but when you open an APP, it is too bright, which reduces the user experience. Therefore, in order to improve the user experience of iOS 13, Apple has made requirements for all APP developers, and the final deadline is set in March 2020.

Since it is aimed at all APP developers, the most familiar WeChat must be included. However, it is already March, but WeChat seems to have turned a deaf ear to Apple's ultimatum and has not made any updates so far. This has triggered heated discussions among many netizens, and everyone has begun to speculate, do you need to choose between iPhone and WeChat in the future? Will the two be unable to coexist in the future? Let me ask you, if the iOS 13 system cannot download WeChat, will you still use the iPhone?

In fact, due to the impact of the epidemic, Apple has actually adjusted the deadline. Now the final deadline has been changed to April 30, so there is still plenty of time left for WeChat. It is indeed too early to make a conclusion about "Apple system banning WeChat" or "Tencent boycotting Apple phones". After all, Zhang Xiaolong's team has not made any statement so far, and there is still a long time before the deadline, so this matter has not yet reached a conclusion.

In my opinion, neither WeChat nor Apple is willing to lose the other. After all, WeChat currently has 1.2 billion users, and there are only 1.4 billion users in China, which means that basically 80 to 90 percent of Chinese people are using WeChat. If a mobile phone cannot install WeChat, then this mobile phone will lose its meaning of existence and will be eliminated by Chinese users, which is something Apple does not want to see. WeChat is also unwilling to give up Apple mobile phone users. After all, a large number of users in China are fanatical followers of Apple mobile phones, and these Apple fans may also give up WeChat because of Apple mobile phones. So this is not a good thing for both parties.

Moreover, there is no technical problem for the dark mode for WeChat, and WeChat has actually tested the dark mode before, which also shows that WeChat has actually completed the modification of the dark mode. However, the reason for the delay in updating and promoting it may be that it is waiting for better bargaining chips with Apple. After all, WeChat still has the capital in this matter.

WeChat has previously expressed its opinions after testing the dark mode. WeChat does not want users to be addicted to WeChat chats and does not want people to spend too much time chatting and staying up late at night. Therefore, it hopes that users can use WeChat as little as possible at night. This is also the reason why WeChat is reluctant to launch the dark mode. After all, if the dark mode is released, I believe that more users will use it for a longer time because the dark mode will make their eyes more comfortable.

In fact, this is not the first time that Apple and Tencent have fought. Previously, WeChat launched a public account reward function, and Apple made an unreasonable request to charge 30% of the fee. WeChat was naturally unwilling to agree, so it simply removed the function. Although it was restored after consensus, the game between Apple and Tencent has never stopped. If Apple or WeChat does not give in this time, users may face a situation of choosing one of the two. If it were you, what would you choose?
