What ever Apple is going to do in regards to payment system it is not going to "fight" with bitcoin. Instead it will compete against al these other "quick" payment systems/technologies (all these touch to pay things). And most importantly it still will be using $$$.

Apple released a device update weeks ago that made large improvements on existing iBeacon technology. The update allows devices to search for existing beacons without the application being open on the device, while also enabling nearly all iOS7 devices to send and receive beacon signals. This means that retailers can send messages to customers, accept touchless payment and gain valuable customer information, all without dedicated hardware. There is little question that Apple has plans to dominate mobile commerce, but did they make a mistake by outlawing digital payment systems like Bitcoin?
