Apple is locking down the iPhone App Store to comply with a new law in China (www.theverge.com)

China forced Apple to remove any app where the developer isn't registered in China. Meaning they asked Apple to remove 95% of the apps and games available in the App Store.

Poor iPhone users, basically they will get a "wechat handheld" and that's it...

Yup, but since Google is not in China, we don't hear about Google complying, but every other Chinese app store is complying with this new law.
