There is no point in destroying Apple phones. You will not gain anything from it. Use your brain.

Here is the idea: Sell them. And use the money which is earned from those sales to advertise against Apple.

This, exactly. I would simply sell my products (if I were so inclined) and buy BTC with it or something.
Same here, when you destroy something you paid fore you're hurting yourself. He could've just taken bills and cut them with that machete, same effect. It reminds me of those muslim fanatics burning flags of countries they don't like and posting it online.

Maybe they stole the flags? Or buy them in bulk so they're very cheap  Grin.

Yeah - I noticed it as you said it. However at that point, I got a bad gateway when I tried to lock the thread, and now it's started it's life on its own, so I decided not to lock it.

It made it to CNBC news:

http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000244003

And more background info about why Apple is doing what they do:
http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/apple-has-a-good-reason-to-want-to-block-bitcoin-apps

Those who complain about waste do not see the entire picture. My first post explained this clearly.

I will repeat the point: The point is to make a statement about how it is wrong of apple to ban bitcoin apps from the app store.

While they're in their full right to do so, this is not what benefits the users, but it benefits Apple and their bottom line.

We live in a society where the bottom lines of companies are more important than embracing new technologies.

This stunt got the attention of the media, and I guess that's what the man behind the idea intended to, to get attention about the issue. Going on an on about how it's such a waste is a waste of time.

If you're looking at the big picture, you'll see what I'm saying.

Again, I'm not involved in this in any way except as a spectator, and I found it amusing. I don't condone waste, but I think it was an interesting way of making a point. In this day an age, if you want to make a point, you must do something of shock value, or else nobody will care.

Lol Anyone else think that a bitcoin app would of just came up on Cydia on a jailbroken iPhone Smiley ?  :
You can boycott their products if you feel you don't agree with their statements but if it is personal property, well if it was mine, I would of kept it. But his phone is not mine so it's not my decision to make.

As far as I know, blockchain app has been in Cydia forever now... Anyone who cries over apple limitations obviously never heard of a jailbreak. lol



What's cydia? You can still just use the blockchain website. You don't need the app.

I wouldn't buy a $500 cell phone just to smash it. OP, you are childish and moronic.

-This from a Fandroid.

I'm not sure if they bought them especially to shoot it.

the people that do this are crazy and need to learn the value of a dollar. like seriously lets just burn some cash uhhh no people need to think about there actions more. they could have sold the phone and gave money to charity or something usefull not just throw it away

Yeah, not sure how I feel about it, but at least the guy who is shooting his is getting a new phone out of it.

email apple!!!!


Hi, I've been a long time supporter of Apple, from the first iPhone Smiley I still have the first iphone lol Smiley  When people didn't believe in the iPhone I thought this people don't see where technology is going. I have always thought Apple was a supporter of future technology, bitcoin is the future and if you don't support the future and block any thing that's to do with Bitcoin your company will cease from being the number ONE innovative tech company in the world Smiley I love Apple but if your company Stops believing in the future (bitcoin) than I guess I will have to give up my iPhone for a Android phone or something:!) Please reconsider your decision concerning blockchain:!) ""
Thank you
Apple
