Apple should use bitcoin for this instead, it would be better...
that is completely against everything that apple is about. they like to control everything and forcefeed you what you like or don't like.. plus you can make more money that way.
Not quite, they usually pick a thing that already exists but wasn't a success, or at least not yet, rebrand it and add a bitten apple logo to it. Then they let the fanboys do their magic...
Not to mention jack up the price to unbelievable levels.
Apple is done, they are running out of ideas, the iWatch thing is going to suck lol.

A credit card loan is secured by nothing more then your reputation.
So if I don't pay my debt, they're not gonna go after my assets, they're not gonna seek any repayment, only my reputation will suffer? Interesting. Which country is that?
The money you borrow when you use a credit card is borrowed by the bank from it's bondholders and depositholders.

When you use bitcoin you need to trust that the person selling you whatever goods/services is going to give you such goods/services after you provide payment. With credit cards you do not need to give any such trust (you can dispute the charge if you do not receive the goods).

Chargeback v Section 75
You may have already heard of Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, a legal consumer protection that requires credit card providers to refund customers for faulty goods and broken merchant promises.
Chargeback, however, comes into play when Section 75 doesn't apply -- if the goods cost less than the £100 threshold required for Section 75, for example. Plus, unlike Section 75, chargebacks apply to purchases on debit as well as credit cards. Some card networks, including Visa and MasterCard, cover prepaid cards under their chargeback schemes as well.
However, in contrast to Section 75 (which is secured by law), chargebacks are a voluntary scheme adopted by the card networks. That means they don't create the automatic joint liability on the card company in the way that Section 75 does. The chargeback process is not as well-known by bank staff either, so if you have trouble progressing your claim it's worth asking to speak to a manager.

I don't think you understand the importance of BTC being decentralised and trust less. Long story short, if you trust banks/credit card companies/financial institutions more than you trust yourself, then yes, the main benefit for you would be low tx fees.
What money?? The one they've created out of thin air, but are secured against your income/assets, often with changeable %rates?
Are you saying that it's better to take a loan to buy something than use the funds you own (since it's "trust less" and bank take all the risk)?

The benefit of using bitcon vs using a credit card is the fact that it is cheaper and less risky for the merchant, which should mean lower prices for you (the consumer).
You are saying that Apple is coming with a new PAYPAL and are afraid it to be concurrence for BITCOIN?
Centralized payment systems attached to Credit Cards, you have thousands of them. Apple is just another one.

If anything I hope news like this will only make Bitcoin better. I respect the move on the part of Apple, Visa and Mastercard. When it comes to Bitcoin however I"m not worried.
Bitcoin isn't dead now and won't be dead in the near future, the only thing that can kill btc is another coin with superior features, but not Apple.
What?Unrelated topic heading and post.Bitcoin is not gonna die eventually if it dies too.They have to seize every single coin from users around the world.Fuck me if that's even possible so easily

+1 I want to say the same thing !
BTW, this is the worst title ever encountered on the forum.

I think one day a BTC revolution will come and all the 7/11s starbucks subways mcdonalds and alll these other corporate chain stores will soon take bitcoin at their counters, but until that day i dont think many people unless they are somewhat techy nerds/drug addicts/gambling addicts will even have a clue what bitcoins is... i dunno maybe im being prejuidice against the btc community but i know i fall in those categories

so basically just linking your idevices to credit card and paying through there??? I think this is basically same as paypal or the mobile card swipers allowing anyone to take credit card payment from cell phone (except a step up)..... not sure if it will effect bitcoin or not
But.. it's still in the ever falling Fiat currencies.

If you have a credit card then you do not need decentralisation, same with controlling your funds because the credit card company is actually lending you money. You can generally use a credit card anywhere in the world. If you pay in bitcoin then you will need to trust the merchant you are buying from as you cannot reverse the transaction.
The main selling point that bitcoin has above credit cards is the cost of accepting/processing credit cards. Since the cost is lower when paying in bitcoin, merchants are likely to pass along these savings to the consumer.
