Topic: When will Apple accept bitcoins? - page 6. (Read 4063 times)
There can be speculations about Apple's acceptance of Bitcoin but still there's no such big assurance yet. Only Apple can have the final word for its adoption with Bitcoin. Apple is one of the biggest and famous company in the world and if time will come that it's going to adopt Bitcoin, that could attract more investors as Apple is very influential. It can also be very beneficial for both parties if these two big companies will join together. This can definitely create another breakthrough and will increase its demand more from both sides.
It is easy for Apple to accept cryptocurrencies. But they will definitely follow the footsteps of ETFs because they are huge Wall Street capital. If Apple accepts it, it represents the official establishment of cryptocurrency in world finance. The cryptocurrency will take off again.
Apple DOES allow apps in the App Store that use Bitcoin (such as wallets, exchanges, and investment trackers). They also are part of an initiative to add cryptocurrencies to an open W3C protocol for payments, built right into browsers.
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.
If by “accept” you mean as a form of payment, no, not directly. You cannot buy a MacBook or an iPhone with Bitcoin.tl;dr Apple = closed. BTC = open.
Of course, you can use a Bitcoin Debit Card like CryptoPay to pay for anything you want with Bitcoin.
You also could sign up for Purse and get 15% off anything on Amazon, including Apple products.
by the way is that good for the market of both?
beside not many ppl using bitcoin
I do not think, they will ever accept Bitcoin, despite the fact, that it would be awesome. Apple would rather create their own coin IMO, that would more likely the way, they used to run their business. To be honest I am not a big fan of apple's attitude.
What I have noticed about Apple is that, they always try as much as possible to be unique in every way. Apple accepting bitcoin I think will be a difficult thing for them since they want to take absolute control over all their stuffs. Apple accepting bitcoin means they are go by the rules of the game and endure and this is not Apple's thing. Apple wants to rule their own economy. I don't see Apple accepting bitcoin but who knows. They might accept it one day.
Knowing Apple, they'd rather create their own Cryptocurrency that can be used only in their services. I wonder why they didn't yet.
For such big company the only way to accept bitcoin is wait till all huge countries will accept it so there will not be any law side and "apple" have no any risks with operating wuth bitcoin and other cryptos 
Apple is really a huge name which has high respect in our society, people who are using it will know the worth, after the acceptance of apple I am sure price and value of bitcoin will be bigger than ever. Apart from it several companies has offered bitcoin to be a part of their companies and help the growth of their daily earning.For such big company the only way to accept bitcoin is wait till all huge countries will accept it so there will not be any law side and "apple" have no any risks with operating wuth bitcoin and other cryptos

when apple accept bitcoins we can expect Telsa to accept bitcoins followed by Amazon to accept bitcoin so some giant companies are in line waiting to accept bitcoin in the coming future
I guess, the only one who can give accurate answers for this matter are the management of the said company. But I think, bitcoin system needs to be improved and be more safe first from the hackers so that all users of Apple will be satisfied and contented to engage with cryptocurrency.
Yes, the authority to be able to provide certainty is only the company itself. and indeed we cannot deny that bitcoin is still a lot of negative side for now

That can be very uncertain and only Apple can decide, but I guess it will happen if Bitcoin will be fully-established, be widely-adopted and be fully-developed as this is still not widely-available yet. I think Apple is still in the process of studying Bitcoin before getting in and take it into consideration. There are indeed big companies that are already engaged into Bitcoin, the world constantly goes digital, technology continues to evolve and I believe that there is a big chance for Apple to accept Bitcoin in the future. If it will happen then it can have a great impact in the price of Bitcoin as Apple is one of the most famous , biggest, and richest company in the world. 
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.
the legality of bitcoin is still questionable, because there are still many countries that think that bitcoin is still illegal if it is used as a transaction tool like a normal currency, but in my future it is not impossible that Apple will cooperate using the bitcoin platform as one of their payment instruments, because now a country has emerged that indeed legalizes bitcoin and even makes a central bank bitcoin

In this time some big companies are accepting bitcoin for their payment system. But many companies not supporting accpting bitcoin. As like Apple not accept bitcoin in their business system. Though Aplle is a international brand. I think if Apple will accpt bitcoin, then their product sell will raise. Bitcoin users will happy if apple accept bitcoin. And it depends on the company's management
If apple accept bitcoin for sure it will have big effect on the price of the bitcoin and value will increase again, because apple is one of the famous, powerful and rich company in the whole world and billions of people know about this company and I hope it will use their power to up again the value of the bitcoin.
What will be the difference of paying money and using Bitcoin? Apple is a great company, that is a given. The popularity of their products go beyond time even though they're product now are being criticized.
If I will be buying an Apple product, maybe an Iphone X or Iphone 8, since I don't like their new Iphone, I will be using my fiat rather than my Bitcoin. Always remember that the price of their products is not that cheap when it comes to their phones, tablets and PCs, just imagine the fees you will be giving for that while paying fiat will not give you any fees at all.

I think, only taking Bitcoin will be when it's potentially imitated.
