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.

When it comes to technology just like in gadgets, laptop, cellphone, digital watches and many more Apple company is one of the biggest successful in the world. In my opinion about if apple accept bitcoin, why they just give it a try because many users of bitcoin have an iphone gadgets and its become a big advance for them if they accept bitcoin. However, We know that Apple security is very strict and you can not access it was easily especially the new version of iphones today. I am just hoping that there are Companies who's discover the right used of bitcoin.

Apple is one of the biggest company in the world. We know how apple security is, we are having issues between the security of bitcoin. Indeed apple is aware of bitcoin, bitcoin must have a maximum security first. Although, we have seen a lot of improvements in bitcoins, few year later, apple will accept bitcoin because they must be in for new technology and innovation.

There are plenty of events and things in general happening in the world every day so we do not kee our eye on the bitcoin too much but it has already had the impact on our population.

in my opinion they will not accept bitcoin in their technology. Apple is a big and famous company, they will not accept bitcoin whose legality is still in question.

I also think so. If they decide to use the blockchain technology, they will create their own. Nevertheless the hype would be enormous.

At this point when big players are in a bewilder, retracting Bitcoin as a payment option until it completely stabilizes and the whole volatility concern is debunked. Even if all the criteria is met, I highly doubt Apple would accept Bitcoin as they have their own options and resorting to cryptocurrencies would be a kind of like a setback among all other big corporate players.

Let us wait for there biggest decision. But if they decide to create and cooperate with crypto, i think it is a boom around the world. I hope so. We should really wait for this.

If apple's CEO right now follows Steve Jobs' mentality of not following in trends and give products that consumer needs and not they want, Apple will have their own cryptocurrency.

The real question is, when will it happen?

Indeed, they have always seemed to be a very strict, closed company - lets just see iOS compared to Android- which is not necessary bad in some terms. To me, Apple always tried to offer safe solutions and they will only consider to join to the crypto floating when they evaluate the whole ecosystem safe and fluent

I think Apple will launch their own crypto and not accept bitcoin for payment purposes. With their ability, they can do anything.

Most likely never. All the same, open source technologies are not the most beloved. Most likely they will launch their blocking project sooner or later and possibly make it based on their token.

If the price of bitcoins is unstable, maybe stable coin would be an option for apple? I would love to use crypto to buy apple products one day.


when there is a better development maybe apples start receiving bitcoin but not for the near future. Because in my opinion, apples will not accept bitcoin as a payment because I see apples disputing the total bitcoin available and bitcoin price conditions are very unstable

Some people think that this will never happen,but not me. I think that Apple is a very progressive company, which likes innovations. If most people want btc and digital currency will conquer the market, Apple will be one of the first companies accepting it

What do you think? probably never as apple is benefiting without the use of bitcoin so it's better to let the things as they are now rather than playing with it.
The company itself may never adopt bitcoin but it's executives are exposed that they are holding bitcoin.

apple seems to be caution on joining cryptocurrency. a big company would always have a second thought in avsystem like this. but maybe as time goes by and cryptocurrency will be widely used. i think they will consider join a blockchain.

it seems like it takes some time to coordinate with Apple apple and apple manager and negotiate, but do not be afraid it does not seem to take a long time apple will receive payment using bitcoin.

Inthink that us depends on the apples owner of course if they will allow the bitcoins to enter theur business theur finance of course if they see that the bitcoins is very much usable by a lot of brands like for example the rivalry is now accepting bitcoins they will think of accepting that too it will always be up tp us. If the majority of us will be using bitcoins the other company will start accepting it because they knew that they will gain a lot of money in it that is all they wanted the profit the success

The statement is very disputable because the bitcoin itself does not start any processes to change the wealth distribution. So there always be people who have lots of money and those who can hardly make ends meet.
