Great, so with iCloud we get celebrities nude pics...
With this Apple pay, ppl can just lose their CC info.
When will they notice all on these still built on an old age credit card network?
Woohoo, i now can put my CC on my phone and spend! So great!

I thought this would finally be the year I buy Apple, but no. Uninspiring designs and why is the 6 Plus - my preferred screen size - so freaking huge for a phone with a 5.5" screen?
On topic, no.
On topic, no.
Not destroy help. It will get people accustomed to paying with their phone which helps bitcoin. It gets them thinking about alternate payment methods which helps bitcoin. I'm happy!

It turns out the rumors were true, Apple has been putting together a new mobile payment service, and it introduced it on stage today as “Apple Pay.” The service involves adding your credit cards to Passbook, and waiving your iPhone in front of what looks like an NFC reader to pay for goods and services in-store.

Not even close to effecting Bitcoin. It's not like this service can be used online as seamless as Bitcoin.

NFC and Bitcoin is a great combo and apple's adoption will finally drive NFC mainstream (also get people used to paying with their smartphones), so no, not at all
Not too sure about it destroying bitcoin as they are two completely different things however I do believe that they could be strong competition for PayPal. Not too sure I would be ready to use Apple Pay though yet until I knew it was truly safe.
The very interesting fact here is how apple tackle payement user experience.
I think it will be a source of inspiration for people implementing bitcoin payment solutions

it pretty much is a competitor with paypal when you think about it though. but look, my bank and most other banks have already offered this for years. some banks even offered this for years before bitcoin just didn't really work on a smart phone it worked on a PDA, which aren't really made at all anymore. People forget the smart phone is just a PDA with the ability to take a phone call really. PDAs did a lot and I had one, was fun.
no its not going to destroy bitcoin, but it is going to convert a ton of normal people to use apple for these things, which makes bitcoin less relevant. the more normal people who find other services the less bitcoienrs there will be. bitcoiners are really just people who don't like the government or think the ability to transfer things for free or cheap is new. it isn't a new concept and has been around, the main thing driving bitcoin is the protocol itself and the security features and all that. sending money somewhere isn't new and bitcoin obviously lost out to paypal in terms of that time wise, but now paypal accepts bitcoin so you get that going at least, maybe now more ppl will use it, but likely not many.
