Topic: Apple Approves Bitcoin Wallets - page 4. (Read 9504 times)
So does anyone know when I'll be able to download and use the blockchain.info app again?
Epic news indeed! I guess they(Apple) didn't think it was the best idea to shut off such strong up and coming market that could very well lead people to use their phones for a long time to come. Or maybe there was something else I've overlooked but either way this is a major story that will be a big deal as time progresses. 
maybe apple hate bitcoin
remember that there is one guy who shot his new iphone 5 for a brandnew nexus just because apple banned some apps that related to btc iit was posted on reddit before and i love the way that guy shoot his iphone with some riffle

My iphone is stuck on 6.0 so i probably wont even be able to use wallet apps till i get the iphone 6 lol
you can jailbreak it my phone is jailbroken before but it restore itself so i when i plug it on itunes then the new ios has automatically installed i dunno what happen back then but ios 7 is totaly useless for me as there are more similar apps available in cydia plus i hate the boring theme of apple

no there is no wallet for btc on the apps store maybe in some repo on jailbroken phone there is shame that i cant jailbreak my phone because of its ios 7.1.shit thing 
Can anyone confirm actually downloading a wallet and using it on IOS. I really hope that the news is true, but I do realize there is a difference between theoretically "approving" and "existing".
Finally, Apple!! Great news 
Great news! I think I'll hold out for the Blockchain.info apps comeback (if they bring it back).
Surely is a great news.
Apple, which is one of the bigger company of the world, is open to Bitcoin.
But, to the market this news won't nobody effects, because U.S. government selling a much quantities of Bitcoin

Thanks, Apple. I've always thought youre pretty cool 
Apple is best company for user, they always think good about their user and for their benefit.

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
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?
Apple does a very good job at screening their apps against malware, apps with "hidden" charges and useless apps (one example of this was the app that cost $999 and was basically a bright picture of gold, and literally did nothing). In the process of doing this they also censor things they do not like. It is somewhat of a tradeoff.
I was pretty pissed, like most were, when Apple wouldn't allow Bitcoin Apps on their ISO devices. Clearly many were extremely upset and started to even destroy their IPhones.
That said, what you hit on is bringing up an important issue - Security. I have yet to buy a Smart Phone, as my Ipad is enough of a time waster, though useful at work.
The latest I heard on a podcast (Think it was Epicenter Bitcoin) is that Apple is allowing wallets but might not be allowing Apps that allow the buying and selling of Bitcoin. (Local Bitcoins, Coinbase? Correct me if I am wrong).
So, this battle might just be getting started. I can see Apples perspective if they are being careful legally. But if it comes out that they are being self interested
or the like here (which doesn't look to be the case with the latest bans), then they just opened up a mountain of problems.

wow this is great
I'm happy that Apple has taken this decision ..
Me too. Now we just have to wait for the devs to make something. It would be cool if you could buy apps with bitcoin but I doubt Apple would do that.Both coinbase and blockchain.info had iOS apps before they were pulled from the apple app store. Shouldn't be difficult to get those back up quickly. Hopefully more devs will create other options as well!
Hopefully the Coinbase app will be back soon.. That was one that I actually used... I actively use the Blockchain one too...
This is good news, i hope someday people can develop ios wallet that use the finger print to log in.
The finger print sensor would be a great application for that.
