Bitcoin Forum

I personally am boycotting Apple. The last few years their products have done nothing but enrage me and my wife as they have bungled the fine balance between ease-of-use and only-for-the-stupid.

I have been a slave to their ecosystem because of my music and purchased apps for far too long.

I saw a post for someone selling their Apple ID, I will be looking to see what someone will pay for my ten years of music and apps...

I have never used any of their products. So there is no need for any new boycott.

I stayed away from Apple products for years and this reminds me why. Now started looking for alternatives to my iPhone.

Mark Zuckerberg is trying to understand Bitcoin in Budapest, Hungary.

Jeff Bezos dreams of a day when payment will be made in Bitcoin and delivery in Drone.

Sad Apple does not have Steve Jobs anymore.

I wish Satya Nadella also understands the Bitcoin economy.

Yeah, i neither used any of apple product myself.

I've been waiting patiently for an iPhone with a larger screen.

Love Windows Phone but the app selection sucks (and apps that do exist - e.g. Spotify - are generally inferior to the iOS and Android versions).

Android is great but, much to my surprise, I prefer the simplified user experience of WP. With Android I find myself tinkering for hours and hours, downloading all sorts of apps, and it really bugs me that apps seem to leave all manner of files and folders behind after you delete them. Maybe the same is true for iOS and WP, but at least I can't see it!

iOS doesn't have live tiles/widgets but it has pretty much everything else. I would buy an iPhone for XCOM if it wasn't for the stupidly small screen.

That was before Apple decided to ban Bitcoin apps. It's really poor form and it has lost Apple at least one sale!

I can't boycott Apple, coz I haven't used it at all lol...  :D

Made the switch to Android a couple years ago. Never looked back.

Hopefully they bring the blockchain.info  app back,  they've removed it in the past and then allowed it again. Hopefully it's the same this time around.

I got an android phone about 2 months ago because Apple has been doing this sorta thing.

I had been using apple products for like 5 years, but had to make the move.

I do miss the responsiveness of an iphone.  I find android phones are a tad slow. 

Customisability and a huge range of bitcoin apps available was a HUGE reason to change tho. 

What android do u recommend?

i have wait android since i have a windows mobile 6 ... no apple for me, i want to control the APP (.APK).
yes, on android, you can install an application WITHOUT the play google (appstore).

it's an APK file ... simple ?  ;D And that change everything !

Same here!

you know it's bad when iOS is being called the most insecure OS by every security firm out there.

even the NSA brags about exploiting it.

so much for the bullshit blowharding by the fanbois for decades.

The LG G2 is great.

It's very unfortunate that the control on the app store and the iPhone is so strong and unpredictable.
Their hardware is very nice and I was a proud owner of a MacBook once.

The next step will be locking down OS X computers where the move to the app store has already begin.

I've had every iteration of iPhone since it was released with the exception of the iPhone 5...

I started with the iPhone and just never switched away. I always jailbreak because I can't stand Apple's insane restrictions...

I've decided that my next phone will not be an iPhone unless they adopt Bitcoin... I won't shop on Amazon any more either until they integrate Bitcoin payments.

I'm a reluctant iOS user. I don't love it, but I like it a lot more than anything else out there. Tried several Android devices (currently own a GalaxyS4) and hated them all.

I want something more open. I'm really waiting for some Linux phone that will bring the open-source mentality to the mobile market. The openness is what I thought I would get with Android (compared to iOS), but I'm finding just the opposite. Android is every bit as locked down as iOS, though maybe not in the Bitcoin segment, and the experience isn't nearly as smooth as iOS for me.

I'm wondering, does anyone have any experience with the Ubuntu phone stuff?

Also, are there any Bitcoin wallets that will work on a jailbroken iOS device?

Have a read of the link below.

Hi, I just found wallet app is removed from app store - would you be interested in my project here (English) ?

Stupid apple...btw i think that steve would actually think about it.

He would have embraced it.

i wonder why people still use that shit anyway

I am frustrated by Apple's decision to remove the apps for BTC. Ironically, I just switched from android to iphone because I prefer the iphone (better screen for texting, etc) and now it's essentially useless for cryptocurrency transactions. I do not like using android devices as I find Apple easier so I would prefer to convince Apple to allow the applications on their devices. I messaged them and their response was that there were "privacy concerns" surrounding the applications. Not particularly convincing, but support did tell me that they were hearing from a number of people who were pissed, my word not theirs. So, if you want to take the time to tell them how you feel about this issue the link is below:

Mark Suckerbergensteinjewishbergsteinsteinenbergberg is a piece of fucking shit who would love to see you and your family being raped and slaughtered in FEMA camps.


I don't who this is. But judging from your post I don't think you know any of them either, because you are incapable of thinking for yourself.


Sad Apple has always been Sad Apple. But it's only sad for us, not them. Apple employees and Steve Jobs have always been horrible, evil, corrupt and devil-worshipping faggot bitches. I'm glad Steve Jobs is dead, and because I only use linux (because it's the only free operating system i can trust, even though I use a non-free distro, i didn't pay for it but I'm talking about the hardware support for it. Non-free hardware = non-free or in other words CLOSED SOURCE software, which is bad) ... restarting sentence... reboot complete.... and because I only use linux, i'm with linus torvaldis and Richard Stallman. Apple fucking sucks, and so does Steve Jobs. IN fact, Steve Jobs probably smokes pole in hell. Good for him.


I bet you wish Lada CaCa (slang for SHIT) would understand bitcoin so you could pay BTC to have her send her bathwater (which apparently is fucking BLOOD) to you so you could masturbate to it, moron.

First thing I did when I heard about this was I ****ed my macbook with an axe, burned my 3 iPhones and crushed my iPad with a sledgehammer.

Srsly tho, buy their products if you like them, If you don't - don't.

Actually...

Just don't buy their fucking NSA backdoor having hardware and software, PERIOD.

I have an iPhone, and even after this, I am not planning to go to any other brands. I tried the S4 and some HTC phones, but Android just didn't feel right to me. I just prefer iOS to it, but then again, that's just my opinion.

For those wishing to break out of Apple's censorship jail. Here are the keys to your cell: http://allcydia.com/ (http://allcydia.com/)

I will not buy another Apple product until I can download a native wallet app. Right now I'm thinking the LG Flex looks pretty cool and I kinda want a larger screen than what my iPhone 5s has...but I don't _need_ a new phone yet.

Hi all, is there any special reason for having native wallet app ?

I thought open source bitcoin server wallet with www interface in your own possession
would be a better choice, because you do not need to install 3rd party apps, just use
standard web browser in your xx phone.

So nobody is interested in that ?

Apple Records boycotted Apple's iTunes for nine years.

Never had any apple product, they are overpriced.

Android has a much bigger market than Apple and is MUCH MUCH more user friendly in the sense that it doesn't restrict a shitton of things like Apple does.

Simple Answer: Quit Apple, Get Android.

I never use Apple products, it is too expensive.

I will always support apple products.

At the risk of being publicly flogged here, I think the Verso card/wallet seems like a nice option for the iPhone.  For the $17 price I am willing to give it a try.

People still buy Apple products? Damn, people must have a ton of money to spend if they can afford to buy a phone that practically places in 1 new stupid feature everytime they come out with a "new" phone. It is sort of sad to see all of the drones doing this.

I hate apple. I never spent a penny on them. Android FTW!

Meh, phones are relatively cheap, I don't own one, but any household with moderate western income can easily afford to buy one per child per year if that's the case.

Verso wallet, look it up. Works like a charm.

Apple/iPhone were always over-priced. But they managed somehow to market it as "hip and exclusive" even though it was always mainstream(wtf).

Why are they overpriced? Don't you get exactly what you pay for, a smartphone with an apple logo?
As long as they sell what they promise, it's not 'overpriced'.

apple makes me so mad on this subject. like seriously what do they get out of banning it and does anyone know the reasonw why i feel like there would be more positives in keeping them then removing them right

Atleast you can be sure that they'll regret that they banned it in due time. When people start boycotting Apple they'll ask themselves why.
