Now with its updated App Store policies, Apple's guidelines state: "Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions."

I'm glad that Apple decided to do a 360 on their policy
A few snipers on the Iphone certainly helped  8)
That said this is good news for Bitcoin and Virtual currencies in general
(That said their recent unveil was meh)

None of the Bitcoiners should use any of the Apple products. Apple have always made use of dirty tactics to stay in the competition. Just check their insane court cases against Samsung.
