I don't think an exact copy (font, style, etc) conveys the point that bitcoin is "ahead" of Apple in term of innovation.

I absolutely agree with you.
The font you chose for the bitcoin version clearly indicate a sort of progress from the original one.
Also the colors: contrasty B/W for the original, some light orange, black and gray for the other.

Just a curiosity: in which year that apple advertise was launched?

EDIT:
I'm reading some comments on reddit. Some of their criticisms make sense to me.
Some word and/or period should be revised.

Seems like reddit has issues with it:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1x8abd/welcome_apple_seriously/

I just made a copy of the OP. Clearly it could use revising. Why does anyone think this is some final submission on it's way to the New York Times? Roll Eyes

StayFocus and LIVE

Guys here's apples CEO EMAIL [email protected] PLEASE feel free to email and support blockchain:)
Here's my email to the CEO:)
""Hi, I've been a long time supporter of Apple, from the first iPhone

I still have the first iphone lol

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

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

If Jobs was alive today, we wouldn't need to write that letter to him.

If he could come back from the dead and see iOS7 and the banning of Bitcoin, he would have fired the board of directors. Again.

Fuck Apple. Spend your money elsewhere. Simple.

I tell my friend, if you can't even choose to take the battery out of your phone..... whats the point?

This, what the fuck is up with that?

Coming from the person who's already made 10 similar posts in the various "Apple bans bitcoin" threads. What are you afraid of?

I am not afraid of anything, but completely amused by a fanatical Bitcoin mob which thinks that Apple is conspiring against their imaginary revolution.

LoL

I cannot stop to laugh at the delusional and misleading text the OP did in an attempt to copy the Apple's old advertisement.

Facts:

- No "cryptocurrency" revolution happened 5 years ago.
- Bitcoin do not put the "power of currency" back to people.
- Accepting Paypal or credit cards is not a skill.
- Satoshi Nakamoto's paper do not address any estimation...
- ...of 21 million people willing to buy 1 BTC to benefit speculators.
- Next year the Bitcoin user base will not increase exponentially...
- ...and that did not happened in the last years.
- The Bitcoin "community" could care less about competition...
- ...otherwise there would not be "altcoins".
- The only capital being enhanced is the capital of the speculators and early adopters.

Actually, they say that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Google "Apple bitcoin"
There are pages upon pages of hits. This just shows how far spread the acceptantce of bitcoin is and how big the bitcoin community has become.

I've bought multiple of pretty much every Apple product. I've bought (sometimes multiple) every iPhone ever to come out.
I've written apps, 3 to be exact.

I'm done. I'm out. I'm going Android.

Might I suggest the Nexus Phone series. I switched to android a few years back - started with the Galaxy S2 - then 3 then 4 and now am using the Nexus 5 and I can never see myself straying from any vanilla android phone.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna go check them out tomorrow!

I was thinking of all the Apple products I've gotten in the past few years.
2 Mac Pros, 2 iMacs, 2 Macbook Pros, 3 MacBooks, a few Airport express, Airport extreme, Time Machine, 3 iPod touch, iPod, iPod Nano, one of each iPads, and every iPhone that has ever come out, as well as 2 more iPhone 3s, and 2 iPhone 5s.
That's a little too much. I need to rethink my life. Thank you Bitcoin for saving me from the iMonster!

The nexus is probably the best phone for developers, so yeah +1 to that idea. You could always put cyanogenmod on an S4 if you prefer the look of the handset etc but still want that vanilla feel + features.

First thing that came to my head when I heard the news, is this ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA . Think Diffrent! Satoshi is one of the crazy ones. What happened to that apple? Without Steve the company is different.

I would like to thank Apple for narrowing my upgrade choice to two phones.

you might have a type there with "years pasts"

Fixed in my side-by-side version. Different font also shows "evolution".
