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.

No lol, why would they accept Bitcoin at and time?  They would be the last people to do that.

You do realise apple products are made for people who are just comfortable in their own little world, and aren't willing to take risks or explore new things ( a bit stereotypical, but somewhat true). Bitcoin would be the opposite in just about every aspect.

I think Apple won't accept BTC. Because, BTC is riskier than cash, BTC impacts on the activities of Apple.
Might be they are not willing right now but a time will come when they will welcome bitcoins to be used in apple products. There is no doubt in this statement that bitcoins are a lot more risker than gold and cash etc. But the thing is we all are still loving them because of their amazing nature and behavior towards a common man. We are living better now just because of them.

I dont think so, if apple will accept bitcoin right now. Because the value of bitcoin is very low. And if apple will accept bitcoin maybe its more processing that happen. Because apple is very rich and they dont need to take a risk of their company.

Probably never Cheesy I would more likely see them making their own coin. That is the kindof strategy, I see apple is doing most of the time.
APPLE is the most well known and well developed company in the field of technology but even then they never made their own currency but supporting bitcoin now, so the owner of that top brand night have seen bitcoin courage and they have found it interesting so they now decided to invest in bitcoin which is going to be the best source of promotion for bitcoin currency, I think after that price of bitcoin will rise almost up to 50k dollar.

Apple is really big company and I think that if they go with cryptocurrency in future, they will probably have own cryptocurrency. They have really big base of users in all over the world and they will for sure make own coin.. Just imagine if they start ICO project they will reach hard-cap for few days. It will be great for us that they start using bitcoin, then price will probably be much higher.

The day Apple would decide to accept a cryptocurrency for its products, it would most likely not be Bitcoin, but Applecoin. I am rather sure that one day they will make their own cruptocurrency, and so will all major corporations.

Applecoin possiblity is really high rate. Itunes is good platform to use cryptocurency and If they make an ICO, they can collect hiighest amount since 2014.

Amazon takes it already: everyone gets its profit. I believe that the day when Bitcoin will become the global currency will come, and this great event will happen.
it just talk about time.soon or later much online marketplace will accept bitcoin as their payment system.evenmore if no more debate about cryptocurrency at goverment.it could happen soon.

I think there are always debate, but as long as they see how cryptocurrency works they will accept it ,maybe not now but I am sure soon ,because crypto is just starting and people will see how good idea to invest on it soon.

I'm not sure that apple would want to accept cryptos at least not at this level, but if a company so huge as Apple would ever agree to accept bitcoins or any kind of cryptocurrency that would truelly be a huge win for all the crypto world.

Even if the company is not accepting bitcoin at the moment for whatsoever reason, the cofounder is a big fan of bitcoin. Apple has people in it who not only admire BTC but hold a good amount of this crypto coin too. You can say that all technology related guys who are renowned figures also will be having these coins in their pockets. It is impossible to avoid the concept of digital currencies and blockchain technology for them.

In any way the company which "protects" our securitt but in reality leaks our every information, doesn't deserve to use bitcoin. Just remember how the owner of kickass torrent went in jain, everything happened with help of Apple and facebook.
Forget that, to discuss, apple's interest is different, they don't care about cryptoworld and crypto don't has an image of something great, it's oppositely since crypto is usually used for bad things.

I think many companies, nowadays, are considering of accepting cryptocurrencies in their systems, or simply, in their options for payment. However, many are held back including Apple because, as a business entity, you must first consider if that move would actually transcend to more earnings rather than endangering your company. It's hard to embrace something that's always subjected to negative news and uncertainties, thus, many are being cautious about it.

There are investors who are much more risky than those we have seen before in the stock markets. But that exactly what opens better opportuniies for those people.

To tell the truth, as for me, this is not so important to see how Apple accepts bitcoins. It is much more important governments accept it and not ban. I worry about the future of btc because I want it to become the main currency

Large campaigns now have a poor choice as to join the crypto market. As a rule, they prefer to create their own block project based on the example of Telegram. Apple has always been very keen on the crypto market, so there is no reason to think about joining them in the near future.

Apple could accept bitcoin as one of the several methods of payment, but I wonder what they would do with all those bitcoins - lock them down and wait for the increase of BTC price?
Naah, that's not realistic at all, Apple's business model does not imply all those risks related to volatility of crypto market.

I do not think apple needed using blockchain technology. Because apple is a huge corporation. If we compare apple with Bitcoin then I think Apple is more famous and popular than Bitcoin




I think if all the criteria are met, I highly doubt Apple will accept Bitcoin because they have their own choice and switch to cryptocurrency will be a kind of setback amongst all the other big company players.
At this point when big players get confused, pull Bitcoin as payment option until it is completely stable and all volatility worries are disputed.
