Topic: Apple Approves Bitcoin Wallets - page 11. (Read 9504 times)
Can anybody with an Iphone actually confirm that any previously banned Bitcoin apps are now working?
The quoted paragraph did not say bitcoin specifically, it said "approved virtual currencies".
Bitcoin will not be approved if Apple has its own VC patent.

It didn't say "Apple approved" if you want to get technical about it.
Come on, there were US Senate Hearings, the IRS has commented as well as other agencies, companies all over the world are accepting it, Wall Street is in on it, etc. and you think this is not in line with their definition?
Apple is restrictive with their ecosystem because that provides a certain curated user experience that their customers want.
That's a very polite way of putting it. They could easily give the same user experience AND be ope at the same time. But they have chosen the same path as MS did in the 90's - vendor lock-in.
They can't though. Being open is the antithesis of a closed ecosystem. They put tennis balls on all the sharp corners so their customers don't hurt themselves. What they have is ideal for users who like that sort of thing, why change it?
I will never own an iOS device (unless its for testing) so it doesn't matter to me.
I will have to respectfully disagree with you and would love a deeper discussion, but this is hardly the place.

Yeah, this could be a concern. Maybe Apple is the new China.
This is definitely a step in the right direction.
Never used iphone myself, much prefer Samsung phones. This could be the train to ATH.
Wonder how many wallets are waiting to launch on the app store at this moment?

I am just glad i can finally have a wallet on my iPhone. A malware free system is the only option for having a mobile wallet.
Android has no "malware problem". You really only have a malware problem if you make a habit out of sideloading apps from untrusted sources (e.g. not from the Play Store) and/or are rooted, both of which are for more advanced users.
And iOS has malware too.

Whether or not you like Apple, I think it is interesting to think of Bitcoin as the disruptive technology that it is and how much of a pain in the Azz it would have been for Apple to continue with this ban for a long time. I mean Bitcoin is getting larger and larger and yet "Not on the IPad or IPhone." That reaches a point of negative returns.
Disruption happens in ways that are hard to see coming. After all a Black Swan is likely to have Black Swan babies. The Protocol is out.
It is adopted because you have to adopt it. It saves you money and then in a few years it makes you obsolete.
And who knows the affect the technology has on Apple.
Disrupt Bitcoin, disrupt...
Its about sharing

I only use an iPhone because i got it for free, but i absolutely hate apple.
Apple is just extremely restrictive with their policies. It is my phone, let me decide what i do with it. I can't believe people pay insanely high prices for a phone and than have apple tell them what they can or can't do.

It's like moving into a neighborhood with a homeowners association and complaining that you can't paint a giant purple dick on your garage door..
Do not care about the reason.
This is great news!

I cannot in any way understand why anyone gives a flying fuck about what that dying dinosaur of a walled garden does. With the way they operate as a company they ought to be completely irrelevant in this world 
They are not innovative, but they're not a dying dinosaur. Apple and their products are still very much relevant whether you like it or not. They provide an easy and accessible product for the masses. Not everyone cares about tech like we do.
Some people just want a Toyota.

You have a very unusual definition of dying dinosaur, as Apple is both growing and profitable.
Maybe I'm underestimating peoples joy of being sodomized.
Android hosts 99% of mobile malware and even flagship android phone buyers are often left out on upgrades. The android upgrade problem is do bad the majority of android devices are out of date.
So who is getting fucked more?
Did I at any point praise Android?
And that problem lies in the fact that the hardware producers stops compiling for old phones, it's not an Android or google issue.. It's like saying that bitcoin is shit because of Gox.

Great news for all the main cryptos.
Can't wait for Blockchain wallet to be released. Means I can update my phone without worrying that the app will be removed from my device

Good news doesn't affect too much the value but this is huge, I'm expecting an even more rapid rally when the news will spread.
Its so cute watching the people who are "too cool for Apple" act unimpressed.
Go back 12 months and think how excited you would be if Apple even *acknowledged* Bitcoin existed.
This is huge news.
