When they really need to. But they'll fight it hard! Apple's business model is to lock everything down -- very closed indeed. This does not align with the goals of bitcoin, at least, how I perceive them.

tl;dr Apple = closed. BTC = open.

Only when governments say that bitcoin is a legal tender and it can be used as means of settling your payment is the day apple could go for accepting bitcoin payments. This is very less likely to happen in next few years.

I think you are not making any good reasons why should apple accept bitcoin as payment. Anyways, apple will never accept bitcoin as payment because bitcoin is not regulated by the government, that is why there are only few stores which accepts bitcoin as payment.

Bitcoin transactions can be called anonymous to some extent. In view of this, Apple will never accept payment in bitcoin, because in the opposite case, Apple will be sued by regulators.
Scammers can use various services, steal credit cards, exchange money from cards to Bitcoin, and buy goods in Apple for this. Money laundering that will be difficult to track and suppress.

Apple never accepted bitcoin anymore because the Apple owner not interested with bitcoin as payment, but still have many big company want to adopt bitcoin as currencies, not worry if Apple really not accepted bitcoin because not give reputation for bitcoin lower price. One day Apple will change their mind if many costumer to buy Apple product using bitcoin and they will available using bitcoin as purchase payment for the future.

I am not interested with apple company want to accept bitcoin or not is not have big effect, we need some project or company always support for bitcoin and could promote bitcoin as best payment transaction at the future.

Apple is the one of multi billionaire company that exist. if apple accept bitcoin as payment how would you know it wouldn't affect the price of btc? If apple do that btc are getting more popularity, in fact many other company will rather have btc payment method if everyone see's that this payment is easier. you will be interested if apple starting to accept btc.

We have now seen that Apple does not accept payments in Bitcoin. They are a large company and are governed by the government and need government incentives to continue to grow. The government dislikes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because they think bitcoin will threaten the US dollar.

I hope Apple will do it but I'm not sure if they accept Bitcoin. Apple has Apple pay, a centralized credit card system and Apple is promoting it heavily. When Apple will accept Bitcoin it would be contradictory because it doesn't support Apple's product.

Well, there's a possibility that they will accept bitcoin but I'm sure it will take a lot of time. Cryptocurrency market is very volatile and not regulated in other countries so this is some reason why big companies still not accepting bitcoin as means of payment.

Soon or later, i think apple will accept bitcoin. Its true that bitcoin not regulated in many country, i think its because bitcoin is decentralized cryptocurrency. But many advance country allowing bitcoin for payment. I think its just about the time when apple accepting bitcoin as currency

Well apple will likely not support bitcoin because as a cooperation it have the intention of creating their own digital currency and at that they will always fight against the growth of the entire bitcoin network, but I know that with time apple will realize the importance of bitcoin and how it superior to all other form of payment system is.

I think the optimization of payments in cryptocurrency (in Bitcoin in particular) is a matter of time and growth in the importance of the crypto market itself. As long as its capitalization is now treading around 200 billion, we will not see implementation of the Apple-based product.

In my opinion it will take quite a long time because Appel is a very large company so that the company will think very carefully to accept Bitcoin, so it will be very profitable if Bitcoin can enter the Appel company, and that greatly affects the quality of Bitcoin.

Yes you are right, Apple is a very large company and that's the reason why they will not easily accept or trust someone or even other institution. But I'm hopeful too that bitcoin can.

Apple is itself a big company but if they are adopt bitcoin it will be really an act of honor for both, for bitcoin and for apple. Because bitcoin is also a well known currency as we know people love to buy and sell with bitcoin so they will surely buy the products of apple using bitcoin which will make them in contact with each other so really a great news we should support this news.

It seems like an Apple company will never want to accept payments using cryptocurrency or bitcoin because I've seen Apple Bitcoin not support Bitcoin before prices are stable and not full of price games.

with the large fluctuations, of course, Apple still counts to accept bitcoin related to the risks later. moreover the government has not legalized it so that the whales are free to move to seek personal gain

I have not seen that possibility in the near future, Apple is a big company that is certainly very careful in deciding whether to accept bitcoin or other crypto currencies.

I have never heard apple being interest in crypto currencies. Even Samsung has started showing some interest in digital currency but we normally see Apple enters late in the market in technology these days. If Apple supports the bitcoin now, it will really make them stand in front of others, but as usual there seems to be no urgency from Apple to adapt bitcoin.

As mentioned ஆப்பிள் hasn't shown any kind of interest on cryptocurrency, but surely they'll be researching about the crypto market. Because each and everyone knew that the blockchain technology is gonna make a big change on the corporate community in the near future.
