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.

In the future it will soon accept Bitcoin. Because this is a new and good technology, it will make buying and selling faster and the delivery time will be faster. Not only Apple, other businesses will soon reach Blockchain.

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.

That could be a long way or a long process to be done. I hope someday, the big companies will try to understand and know more about cryptocurrencies. We don't knos when, but the time will come.

Apple doesn’t need to work with Bitcoin. What do they really have to do with it, makes no sense, there are other better things that they can focus on instead of cryptocurrencies. And if cryptocurrency would be good for their business I’m very sure that they would have gone into that a long time ago, because they are already aware do it. But they don’t work with it because it won’t work out well for them.

When everyone starts accepting crypto currency Apple will be forced to do so as well so they won't be behind the times and be relative. But I'd think that they won't be accepting any coins but will make their own so to still have a closed market kind of thinking. And you won't be able to buy coins for investments.

I just hope this hope will come to past, this will make btc more popular and many new investors will have confident on it to invest big.

Actually we can hope many beautiful things but all of them do not happen. This will be a high achievement for Bitcoin if it got accepted by a company like Apple.

In my opinion, Apply and companies like Microsoft will only accept this technology when it is operatable all over the world. Right now, Bitcoin is banned in many countries and keeping this situation in mind, an investor might not consider it a good choice.

Big companies will easily step up little by little to achieve the goal to let us join the crypto party. Maybe Apple is at the present of conditioning whether it will go with crypto or stay independent in crypto. Most probably apple will become crypto currency adopters in the future. Just my own opinion.

At this stage you still cannot use bitcoin for your payment with apple, but i'm sure they are working on it. Apple normally is the first one to integrate new stuff. Let's wait and see.

When the see the evidence of the support of the government and also when there is no manipulative threat by some people believing they can control the price whenever they like.

Is this true?
If Apple really accepts bitcoin, this is good news and can help the development of bitcoin. I hope this can happen.

For sure this will never happen that soon as apple is one of the most stablished and protected gadget provider,the technology behind this company is high standard that cryptocurrency will hard to adapt and same as the apple that would be harder for crypto enter.i am an apple user since then s what i can say is apple dont need crypto to profit because it can cover the needs of the company

I don't know... If the whole of the market is accepting crypto currency then apple would have to be on board with it. I think if they will still prefer to a closed market system then i guess they'd simoly make their own coin in the exchanges and fund it from their stocks. That i think is doable. But as long as not many people are on crypto currency then they'll stick to it.

because there are still many governments that have not legalized BTC, so it has not been effective to use crypto. but i am sure that if many facilitate transactions using BTC, then Apple will make its own coin, or facilitate cryptocurrency transactions

I don't think they will but they may create their own coin/token.

I think apple will accept bitcoin soon, in the near future. I remember Microsoft already accept bitcoin as a payment for certain online shopping. Also, there are a few other large companies accept bitcoin as well. I believe there will be more and more companies accept bitcoin in the future.

Accepting Bitcoins as a method of buying something ?

Never.
Since the price of Bitcoins keeps fluctuating the problem is its very risky for not just apple but for any other company or state to accept it as a method of payment.

It's essentially meant for a store house of value not as a method of exchange.( Some exceptions aside )

Also I don't think it will happen someday taken Bitcoins don't get centralized.

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.

It is not so easy for them to launch their own currency, because they also will need support and investments from bitcoin, according to me some of rumors have told in market that apply is being interested for bitcoin so they are agree to invest into it, they would prefer accepting the present valuable currency than making and introducing their own currency.

“The Future of Security Tokens”

No in nearest times for sure. Apple should support USAs governments position so it depends fully on their ideas.

I have just read an article on Apple planning to ban some crypto-related activities. It leans toward the assumption that they will not be a fan of Bitcoin anytime soon...

I don't think it is a company that can stop it. for now, they can't see the system they can thank. market has so many variability so it doesn't look hot for big companies, meaning great loss especially for technology companies great.

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

They have so much money I don't know how much the volatility would really hurt them in reality.
Anyway, with enough money, you don't have to take big risks.
