So, folks! Trust us, the digital world has changed so much since it last happened that your iPhone will seem like a door to the metaverse. In that regard, Apple has just taken a huge serving of humble pie. Prepare yourself for a tsunami of NFTs flooding your iOS device!

You know, when Apple was the new evil gatekeeper, insisting they get their 27% cut off of anything that even crossed the App Store. Those days are fading fast. That all changed with a recent ruling in the Epic Games saga on May 2, 2025. Now, they need to avoid apple’s tight governance and smoothly implement crypto payments and NFT capabilities right into their apps.

Fortnite's coming back! Let that sink in. After being exiled from the App Store for years by Apple’s anti-competitive payment schemes, Epic Games is finally poised to return. They’re firing up their old iOS code to set the battle royale craze loose again. This shouldn’t be just limited to getting Fortnite back on your mobile phone. It’s really about the floodgates opening for a whole new era of in-app experiences powered by NFTs.

This isn’t just a developer win, this is your win.

Imagine a future where your iPhone becomes your passport to personalized, one-of-a-kind experiences. It’s a passport to exclusive, one-of-a-kind digital collectibles and access to dynamic online communities. That's the promise of NFTs on iOS.

NFTs Unlock iPhone's True Potential

This is still about more than digital trinkets. It’s about empowering a whole new level of citizen engagement and ownership wrapped within the cool, hip apps you’re using on a daily basis. It’s the beginning of making your iPhone the most powerful tool for creators and collectors, and more.

For too long, Apple has been setting the terms of the App Store economy. They’ve treated developers as serfs, taking a big chunk of their income and killing creativity and innovation. This ruling isn’t just an environmental victory — it’s a wake-up call, and a signal that the tide is turning.

  • Fortnite skins you actually own. No more renting cosmetics from Epic. Buy, sell, and trade your favorite skins on a decentralized marketplace, all within the game.
  • Exclusive music drops from your favorite artists. Imagine owning a limited-edition NFT that grants you access to unreleased tracks, behind-the-scenes content, and even virtual meet-and-greets.
  • Virtual event tickets that come with perks. No more scalpers! Buy an NFT ticket to your favorite concert and unlock VIP access, exclusive merchandise, and a digital souvenir to commemorate the experience. This is how you can get a better experience than others, and have bragging rights.

Spotify is already starting to flex its new found freedom, telling users they can pay less by clicking through to an external payment link. This is just the beginning. As more of today’s developers adopt crypto payments and NFTs, Apple’s power over the App Store will keep eroding.

Apple's Control is Fading Away

What does this mean for Apple? Analysts are projecting a high single-digit percentage drop on their services revenue. This unexpected downturn may end up costing them hundreds of millions, and perhaps billions, of dollars. I see this as an opportunity. Instead of resisting the future, Apple should proactively and productively embrace it. They can leverage their design expertise and user-friendly interface to create a seamless and secure NFT experience for their users. They can help bring NFTs to the masses. They’ll turn the iPhone into the world’s best NFT wallet.

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: NFTs have a reputation. Environmental concerns, scams, rug pulls... I get it. There are valid reasons to be skeptical. This is where Apple can shine. Through the incorporation of NFTs into the iOS ecosystem, they have an opportunity to become a paradigm of security, transparency, and sustainability.

Imagine Apple using its hundreds of billions in resources to develop a more sustainable blockchain alternative. At the same time, picture them implementing shake-the-box security standards to protect users from fraud! As stewards of the direction of this industry, they should be the ones cleaning up this space and making it safe for all engaged.
