You can only install apps from the appstore. Try blockchain.

Apple banned all "local based" bitcoin wallets from their app store. Sad

The only wallet that works good as far as i have tested on iPhone is the online web wallet from https://blockchain.info/wallet/ web-site. They also have their own iPhone app with integrated web-browser to use the online wallet with.
Thank You a lot! But to start with I need first of all an application,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.1/bitcoin-0.8.1-macosx.dmg/download
and here I can't download it.

Thanks to all who answered. If I'll decide to deal with bitcoin on iphone - how to start technically ? How to install a client ? Do I need some application(s) to be preinstalled ?

Every 'smart' phone is closed source to some degree and so, insecure. The least closed would be an Android running Replicant with only the modem closed, next would probably be a Galaxy running Cyanogenmod. iphone is pretty much a closed and controlled shop but is if not rooted then possibly more secure... just less private.

 It depends what privacy you want and what you think is the biggest threat. Personally if I had bought an iphone anyway I would trust Apple but hesitate to trust the apps.

So, up to You, how to secure yourself, dealing with bitcoin and using Iphone 5 ? Or, maybe, it is worth not to deal with bitcoin, using Iphone ?

Tor support may not been aware of the existence of the App i sent you link to. So you could contact the Tor support again and send them link to that App and ask if they have been testing it or something?

As far as it goes for my own usage, seems the Covert Browser works very good on my iPhone 4S. Seems to cover my true IP 100% so far.

But then again, A hard-core security-expert would most likely tell you that in order to be 100% safe, you should not connect to internet at all. LOL.  Roll Eyes

Here is a quotation from their answer :

Unfortunately there is no support for the Tor software on the iPhone.

Is there any solution, being connected to internet ?

You can indeed use TOR on iPhone. With "Covert Browser".

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/covert-browser/id477438328?mt=8

Works like a charm for me. It even changes your TOR routing once per like 3-5 minutes which makes it look like you are jumping IP addresses like a rabbit.

Thank you very much ! But, I talked to Tor support and was told by them that it is unsafe to use iphone and they can't guarantee anonymity. I'm really new in that sphere of smartphones. Is it really possible to be secured on that device - from Apple first of all ?

Hello,
I'm new to these two subjects. I wonder, is it safe to use my device anonymously, without being identified ? As I understood, it is not possible to use a Tor on IOS.
I'll be grateful to anybody who can shed light on that issue.
