Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world, and the tech giant recently made a move that has left the crypto community scratching their heads. Apple recently blocked the Coinbase wallet app release, demanding that the developers give them a 30% cut of all NFT transfer gas fees.
The new app was set to be released on the Apple Store, but unfortunately, the company blocked the release, in a move that is clearly not motivated by altruism but self-interest.
According to the statement issued by Coinbase on twitter:
Simply put, Apple has introduced new policies to protect their profits at the expense of consumer investment in NFTs and developer innovation across the crypto ecosystem.

Coinbase wallet developers are understandably upset with Apple’s decision, as they believe that the company's new policies will create a major bottleneck in developer innovation across the crypto ecosystem and could potentially impede the transfer of NFTs on IPhones to other wallets.
The Coinbase wallet is a decentralized wallet that allows users to store, send and receive different types of cryptocurrencies. It also provides users with a secure and private way to manage their digital assets
