It will be but not so soon as its one of a bigest company in the world so at first little companies will accept it then others so if company like Apple will do it then its done.

One of the reasons why they don't accept bitcoins is volatility.

Good question. If it happens - it may positively affect BTCs price because Apples production is popular all around the world, it will represent worlds acception of crypto.

I do not think that the company Apple would ever accept Bitcoin, it is actually the total opposite of what their company's character. They are very proprietary, they are very introvert as a company. They would rather create their own coin rather than accept and join Bitcoin. I also think that the features of Bitcoin will not fit the business methodology of Apple.

I think we are near in the acceptance of APPLE with cryptocurrency.
I have read a lot of news from them and their positive words for cryptocurrency and bitcoin.
we just need to wait more time, BTW samsung accepts bitcoin now in just 1 province of a country.

The company that has so successfully advanced in the world market has learned over the course of its existence to assess the risks for investing its investments in new projects. If Apple has not yet contacted bitcoin, it means that they either know something or are not sure about the profitability of this enterprise

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.
Apple is a very big and rich company. So it is influential. When they accept bitcoin then it crypto currency will become more popular. It will be so good to hear that apple supports bitcoin.
bitcoin acceptance on big company would give huge influence to demand..investor and holder could be very confidence with this condition and maybe they will add bitcoin or altcoin stock.

maybe with the consideration that aple has not used bitcoin in its business, but maybe this is only a matter of time, where later if bitcoin is already very popular and becomes part of people's lifestyles it is definitely no choice but to accept the existence of bitcoin, closed does not mean not accepting change, this is only a matter of time

Apple is the biggest company in the world, they don't need to accept Bitcoin because people will buy their products either way. If that happens it won't be soon.
No i guess it is not the biggest company when we say any comparison there are many great companies around the world and apple is one of it. Actually if apple company is open for cryptocurrency then definitely it will be another level or milestones when it comes to their sales on their products. Imagine the marketcap of bitcoin that flows in the market, relatively huge money is there so if apple is planning to attract those investors by incorporating their products to cryptocurrency then they will be highlight also in cryptocurrency, for the investors and they could expect huge sales.

I guess they are still observing on samsung company that has been reported that they accept cryptocurrency specifically bitcoin as a form of payment. As we all know that a business should not rush things just because the other company had already in the system. Just like nokia now where in it was left behind by other smartphones when it comes to sales and upgrades.

As long as Apple is doing good without accepting BTC I think they won't even consider it. But they must be thinking about launching their own crypto currency.

If by “accept” you mean as a form of payment, not directly. You cannot buy a MacBook or an iPhone with Bitcoin.

I don't see any reason why Apple needs it.
This is the top-1 company in the world and it now dictates market conditions, and not vice versa. When the crypto currencies become meaningful in the financial sphere, then it is worth returning to a conversation about this.

Thats a great question to be answered for the people. I note that google is banning browser miner apps in the google store. There will be rules and regulations just like all the other apps. Until a payment processor integration becomes monopolized by one project, its too early to mainstream the products with the effect of a new emerging technology, without it looking shadenfraude and already been in the apple store for years not doing anything.

It will be difficult for big franchise like apple to start accepting bitcoins as there are still some regulations that is holding bitcoin to be freely used particularly by large institutions.
I have the same thoughts. Maybe (just MAYBE) Apple can take this decision but if it happens, it will happen not so very soon. This is a self-sufficient institution.

Apple can create its own cryptocurrency faster than it can accept Bitcoin. This is one of the most powerful and rich organizations. They never risk, and do the things that bring everybody working there only profits.
