apple seems to have a only baseline for btc and some bitcoin ticker but i havent seen any wallet application from them
well hopefully they will update it soon its nice to have an on the go wallet while you are away from your computer and using an apple phone when android is not available

Blockchain wallet app is still up and running for jb'd devices, non jbd though had to get them prior 12/13.

The appstore even had a cpu miner for mining scrypt coins only hashing at a measly 32khs, u had to set up a stratum proxy elsewhere though, perfect for when everyones iphone is mining for your account. Grin

AAPL should allow Bitcoin wallet apps provided the source is available for peer review.

Bitcoin, you have made it!

Apple haters say what you want, but if Apple has stamped bitcoin as okay, others will follow.

The fact of the matter is that Apple has a well defined and very conservative line. If bitcoin is good enough for Apple, lots of other organizations will think it is okay and good enough for them too.

The sheeple will definitely follow with this.

It opens up another group to bit coin. Apple users are a very loyal group.

This looks like it, maybe why we are once again going up after the big drop off.
This might really start things rolling.

It looks like Apple has updated its app developer guidelines today to allow for Bitcoin apps.

The new clause under section 11.17, which was flagged by folks on Twitter like investor Bill Lee today https://twitter.com/westcoastbill/status/473555837982900226, reads:

Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions.

That sounds like Bitcoin!

Wow, huge news for BTC.

Looks like we were wrong to doubt Apple in this regard, but damn does it feel good to be wrong about this one!

Apple announce this in the wake of the Bilderberg conference in Copenhagen - dunno if they were there, but i heard Google were, and the question 'Does privacy exist ?' was discussed...

^ Updated CoinJar already working on iOS in various territories.

Positively surprised indeed! Let's hope they don't go and do a China later on

Careful guys, there are also comments that the app steals coins. Not sure if bogus but no reason to download and use unless absolutely necessary.
Use only small amounts of BTC.

Have any apps actually been approved following this chance which support bitcoin? The wording of the new terms is a bit vague, so the proof is in the pudding I guess.

Yes. This is more about market share for bit coin than an apple vs android thing.

Yes, exactly. That is how it should be.

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.

i couldn't agree more! this is going to be amazing. We've already seen the short term rise in BTC, lets hold on because this rocket is fueled!

Yeah, Microsoft never used any dirty tricks what so ever to gain and keep monopolies, they did everything they could to always play on a level playing field. And all the big antitrust cases against them around the world was just caused by jealousy for their superior quality products. "Just bring on the fair competition" you could hear them scream from the rooftop in Redmond. Exactly like Apple today.

In case you didn't notice Littleshop, you are completely moving focus away from the fucking point here! Swap "walled garden" with "vendor lock-in", there happy now? They were still fucking playing dirty tricks using their 99.whatever% market share as a way to crippling competition. And they did that pretty much in all of their fields.

You are comparing Microsoft Word to a walled garden.

Nothing Microsoft did with Word back then was unusual. Word is not going to use an 'open' format back then because they were not ready. Everyone used their own format back then.

If other programs could not open Word that was their fault not Microsoft. Fonts and formatting were not as standard as they are today and WordPerfect and others had considerable market share.

You've got that exactly right, Littleshop.

Back when word processors were in their infancy, there was no 'standard' file format. There wasn't even a thought at a 'standard', because you couldn't make a standard when there were so many unknowns about what next thing to add to your program. Tables? Images? Different fonts? When the full set of features became more stable, only THEN did a standard make sense, and only THEN to the losers of the market share battle.

Additionally, what would Microsoft gain by making their word processor 'Word Perfect compatible'? Nothing. They would be stuck waiting for Word Perfect to create the next new feature before Microsoft Word could have it. Microsoft Word would always be one step behind the competition - why buy it? The best way was for Microsoft Word to read existing Word Perfect documents, then be able to save them as Word documents - allowing for Microsoft Word to be ahead of Word Perfect. That's how the market worked back then.

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 Angry

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.

Apple's influence among mobile users all over the world is far-reaching, Nobody can underetimate the power at apple's asernal!
