be careful with that line of thinking, apple might want the whole piece of the pie. remember, apple is hoarding cash and has over 100 billion in its war chest.
whatever apple is up to, it has to be pretty big.

I think Apple would have better things to do than try to compete or replace bitcoin
Plus, Apple clearly will keep it within their eco-sphere ... so nothing to worry about really.
In fact, if anything, it will simply help get people used to the idea of digital currencies which would then be a positive all round.

yup better name than imoney.
I think iCoin is not yet out in the Alt-coins? Someone should go create it 
hahahaha
Someone should pump out new alt coin iMoney 
spending lots of imoney i see.
Steve Jobs is gone at the wrong time. I can't imagine what he will be doing to Microsoft and Google if he is still at the helm of Apple now. Maybe I am using an Imac, watching Itv, wearing Iglasses, using Iphone.....going to the gents at Itoilet
i honestly dont think they cant pull it off without steve jobs strong arming banks, merchants, etc on the negotiating table.
I remembered when Microsoft use the be the Evil One, this was followed by Google, then it is Apple's turn. I guess the next one will be Samsung
Maybe it's time to start marketing Bitcoin as THE WORLD CURRENCY.
PayPal, Amazon Coin and iMoney are not accepted or usable in MANY jurisdictions.
Bitcoin can be used in ANY jurisdiction that has internet - not so the others.
Bitcoin - the world currency.
Time to push the strengths of Bitcoin instead of constantly reacting to external developments.

ssshhhh. apple employees lurking this forum. they might want to come up with their btc like currency, complete with network and an assembly line of mac miners.
edit: HOLY SHIT. what if that is what they're really after?? their own crypto mining network but for macs. jeeezzzuuusss.
and i wonder how else can apple use all that computing power.

Naturally they are totally missing the point with this proprietary crap. For those who wanted to see Bitcoin support for iDevices this is kind of a slap in the face...

Proof of Evil.
Hopefully Apple will not muscle its way into the cryptocurrency arena. Who can fight Apple 
Samsung In some fields Microsoft aka Windows
In others they cant compete aka Zune
You will be forced to use it, imagine the number of Itunes users.
Why would you be using their overpriced, proprietary, walled garden products to begin with?

They arn't. This isn't a true cryptocurrency, just a fancier version of AmazonCoin which is also not a crypto-currency either. They are just proprietary payment systems riding on the veneer of Bitcoin, which is both bogus and sad.
The fact that Apple is both creating their own "currency" and denying Bitcoin apps is pretty telling that they just can't stand any format they don't have an iron grip on just like Sony.
Prob is a lot of people won't understand the difference
yup. and speculators and traders could care less what it is, as long as it makes them a lot of money.
and you know how apple is. they always comeout with a superior product.
with apple's 100+ billion war chest, everyone watch out.
