I have never and will never use any iProducts there are too many restrictions and their products are always less comparable to other competitors such as Samsung.

or... more worryingly... is satire dead? Seriously, is it this bad that someone will take such a statement as anything less than satire?

Seriously guys?
What we know is Apple does not want these apps in their store.
What we do not know is why.
I'm sorry to report that there are indeed legitimate reasons why someone may not wish to distribute a thing to customers, and those reasons may have you feeling like a caveman once known. Maybe their lawyers won't let them, maybe laws have something to do with it, maybe the code is flawed, maybe the owners are about to be Shrem'd, maybe Steve Jobs was Satoshi. Who knows wtf?
Maybe I'm wrong though. Best to keep smashing your phones, just in case.

The second motive Allaire suggests is that Apple wishes to cordon off and gain a position of advantage in the digital payments space. He said:
“Apple’s iBeacon and Bluetooth protocols are very clearly designed for payments. Those two things are proprietary – no one can use them, and I think it’s very clear that Apple is planning to introduce its own digital wallet.” ... it will maintain an advantage in digital payments by blocking bitcoin apps that can be used for sending and receiving funds.

So you think because Apple wouldn't allow Google Voice, this is the same thing? You must live in a very repetitive and predictable world.
My point isn't that Apple can do no wrong. It's that not all things that you don't understand are wrong.

People! Stop supporting financial terrorists with your video terrorism! Just imagine how terrorised Apple must be right now. When someone, anyone, calls the "T" word you have to stop or go to financial Guantanamo*.
This is not terrorism. I own my phone, I can do with it whatever I want and nobody can stop me. (a plus, I'm not in the US)This is great, if I had more money I'd definitely do a run like this.
+1 for the project.
Apple has clearly shown their stance towards Bitcoin by removing the app.
Didn't you read page 1 of the thread?

Apple can no longer even pretend to be the "bad boy," they are no longer cool. The videos of young people destroying their iPhones in exchange for free Nexus 5's just adds fuel to the social movement we are witnessing.
There's a saying that you either die young as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Perhaps this will mark the day that this became true for Apple too.

I'm sure Apple is just shaking in their boots at the five people that smashed their iphones.
That's about as effective a threatening Theymos with boycotting Bitcointalk for any number of reasons.

Is this the bad news that is contributing to BTC dropping today? The article about Apple dropping the blockchain app said is was at random and it had been on the app store for over a year now...not sure what to think
Most likely no. There isn't just enough fiat flowing for the daily BTC supply at this price (at the moment). February 06, 2014, 04:57:20 PM

And yes I would say move to android, I switched to a Samsung and think it is 10 times better than my old 4s

This is why you buy an Android phone. The Nexus is a great choice.

I wonder why is it so hard to just NOT BUY APPLE PRODUCTS 
Destroy iphones? Is this a joke? Why don't you just buy something else? Something better? It looks like someone is pointing a gun to you and ordering you "buy apple products"

financial terrorism
Yeah sure now breaking a phone is terrorism. Gabi,
I see it like this: Apple marketed its iPhone product as a smartphone, as a device which will fulfills one's mobile "computational needs". They didn't use such words, but in context of the smartphone market, there is this expectation when buying the device. Now, for many people, basic mobile phone need is to be able to manage one's own crypto-currency wealth. By them not allowing this, they are restricting my ability to handle my crypto-money when I am not at my PC, which can potentially lead to a financial loss for me.
Of course, I can buy something better, but that will mean additional financial burden for me, right? Because I can't sell my 3-year-old iPhone for a price, that will allow me to buy equivalent smartphone from other company. I probably wouldn't buy an iPhone, had I know at that time that they would not allow such an essential functionality 3 years later, but how could I predict that. I am just not so rich so I can buy new smartphone anytime I want, and why should I? I also invested additional money to buy other apps, to their ecosystem, and that would be another loss for me.
To sum it up, I think your argument is valid only for a new smartphone buyer.

Back in 1984 Apple were cool. Now they're trying to makes us live in George Orwell's 1984... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

Apple is well past its climax - restrictive policy won't pay out. It's no longer cool to have an Apple device.
