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.

As of today bitcoin has many open opportunities , and also more opportunities to come , I think apple see bitcoin as threat but sooner or later it would come in near future I guess. As you can see though there some accepting bitcoin , such as , a restaurant , an airport and many more  , so positively it would come and bitcoin will be legal to all country.

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.

I doubt if this will ever happen. Though a lot of influencer business people and owners of top brand products might have seems to encourage bitcoin by investing in Bitcoin but i doubt if they will Implement it as part of their payment system for their business. And I guess this is because of the stand of the government concerning bitcoin. This people don't want anything that might affect the growth of their business.

Why apple  should take bitcoin? The apple has enough room to create its own block system. Only there must be reasons for openness. Using Apple Pay and Apple Pay Cash company hides personal information on user payments. I don't understand what actions in the business of Apple need openness.
Apple is a well known company in the field of technology that could have a better blockchain system in terms of transaction I'd they want to be a part of Bitcoin technology. Yet they should have encourage people and for then to know the risk of Bitcoin and other cryptocurreny in the market.

Apple is a big tech industry that can affect the bitcoin to a better position. They know their position and what's the big thing they could create if they adopt bitcoin, but I thought they have their own strategy. The last I heard, that CEO apple announced it had bought bitcoin in bulk, but then sold it back sometime later, on the grounds that the decision he made was based on the pressure of work.

Even if Apple starts accepting payments in crypto I am sure that those payments won`t be with btc,  they would create their own coin. They have their own operating system so will be their coin

I do not think that the big companies will accept bitcoins.
I have opposite opinion. They will accept bitcoins, its not something that they can still ignore for now. Market cap is getting higher and higher though it went through a big correction still it has an expensive price.
Large corporations like apple make huge amounts of revenue, so they would get huge amounts of crypto currencies as payment as well.
By accepting bitcoin as a payment method, it will give their customers other method which they are convenient of.
If they try to sell those large amounts, I assume it would have a decreasing effect on the price of the crypto currency they accepted as payment.
Its law of supply and demand so its given.

When someone bites the other side of it. Grin

I agree with desmond up there at first page. It will leave them a negative reputation that might just end up slowing down profits from the business itself.

If I am part of the shareholders I wont agree too. Bitcoin gained too much negativity and is too volatile.
Perhaps someday, but not now. Dont want to be losing money just because of one wrong decision.

Apple is a big company, which counter every technology which is not appropriate on their side. I think apple will find a way ot create their own blockchain to rival bitcoin which they have done to adroid.

I doubt they will accept it unless they will be forced to by the market or by greed. Something democratic and decentralised is not generally inline with the culture of Apple.

The management of apple should be the one that should know when apple will accept bitcoin. I think bitcoin will help develop and advanced there products and services. However,  apple may adopt another coin that will work with them and they may decided to develop their own coins on blockchain technology.

Apple as a company that relies on technology in its product should be able to implement blockchain in their system.
I just hope they implement a Blockchain system as Bitcoin or another new coin that matches with the system of their company.
it will definitely make the world a concern about Bitcoin more serious.

I don't think Apple will go into Bitcoin, block chain technology and the crypto currency world. I think they will rather create and build their own crypto and technology since they have the means and power to do so.

Aplle is a company that is well known and very strict in terms of marketing so that Aplle slimasa will not be possible to adopt bitcoin as a blockhaind system that they will develop. Even if Aplle is going to use crypto system, I think the company will create its own blockhain system without having to use another bitcoin or altcoin.

Possible since apple has proven not to be very good with mingling with other technology and relying on their own instead. I wonder though how they'll get through with that. Perhaps even now rhey have people doing studies already

Yes thats very true. The history of Apple have remained such that it wants to create its own ecosystem wherein if you buy even one if its products, you inevitably need to buy or use several other products of the same company.

Its quite likely that if Apple ever wants to get into the crypto market, it would most probably create some own blockchain techniques and own digital currency, and no doubt it will be famous with the same speed as its any other product.

When pigs fly over the moon? Joking, shouldn't be forever but industry leaders don't have to innovate because they are the leaders so Amazon might actually be one of the last to adopt (although I feel they are smarter than this).

I think apple will create their own encrypted currency if they want to accept encrypted currency!

It's a simple thing to do with apple's business status!

But I don't think apple will issue an encrypted currency because they have issued their own shares!
