Here also emerged some conscience enterprises, specialized to do the framework, compatible with each small program, I will not name, interested in their own Baidu.

Apple as steady as a mountain

According to statistics, the monthly activity of small programs has exceeded 600 million, but apple, Google giants why not panic? On the other hand, small programs run inside apps, which are governed by apple’s and Google’s marketplaces. However, when wechat and other small programs are alone, Apple may be worried about wechat with users’ self-respect, this is the old saying that one mountain is not allowed for two tigers. Apple, of course, has seen the potential threat, or stopped making virtual payments for small programs.

After all, Apple Pay is not as big a market in China as expected, but for existing developers, it is still necessary to pay close attention to this technology. Maybe this is the standard version of mini programs, after all, in the hands of developers, Apple is the real voice.
