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.

with the help of Apple and Mozilla, a clear step towards a different currency payment standard through a website built in 2013. This is the driving force behind Bitcoin and other currencies. Other codenames show that people have widely accepted the payment by encryption technology.

If the apple company accept and partnership to bitcoin it is good to bitcoin price. Because we know apple is one of the largest company of gadgets and they influences billions of people around the world and those user can possible to invest and use bitcoin for their business and the price become very high.

Apple is an absolutely independent and established system, it does not equal to anything even to bitcoin. But bitcoin is a very independent and reliable bridgehead, so as not to look at other systems!

Apple is a big company they can easily create an ICO project which you can safely trade Bitcoin with their apple application and only available on Apple products, this is how they can easily create one if they want to but so far I think their company is going good on whatever practice they have so that's why they are not expounding to crypto yet.

in my opinion apple will not accept bitcoin as its payment because i see apple disputes the total bitcoin available and bitcoin price conditions are very unstable, but when there is a better development maybe apple start receiving bitcoin but not for the near future.
For the moment they do not accept payments with bitcoin because bitcoin is illegally stamped by many parties and apple does not want to risk it. but I think they will change their policy for this. I think bitcoin will be legalized in the future. so Apple will definitely accept it in the future. I hope so

apple companies do not seem to be receiving bitcoin as payment for now may be forever because I see bitcoin prices can not be stable and very risky if used as a method of payment.
Yeah, the price of bitcoin is constantly changing, that makes transactions a hassle in converting the price of bitcoin into cash in a reasonable way, sometimes the payments may be delayed for several hours, even days, greatly affecting the customer. Apple is a big company, they always improve the quality and reputation, accept bitcoin will do their reputation go down, they will not foolishly do that, in addition, the government has never officially recognized bitcoin, a big brand like apple would not like to play with the law, it only ruins their future

Thats the norm now. Each big companies are pose to create their own blockchain and ecosystem. Facebook is planning their own cryptocurrency too. Google last day  seems they are eyeing Vitalik of Ethereum. Amazon is hosting Ethereum I think while IBM. has their xlm. We are excited too whats apple is cooking Smiley

I think apple has its own reasons why brands do not use bitcoin as payment? maybe because currently there is a lot of negative news about bitcoin so apple does not use bitcoin, maybe in the future if bitcoin is already received in many countries apple will use it

As we can see now bitcoin is more safer than cash so it think soon apple will accept bitcoin, APPLE is one is the best company of the world, and I think they will surely make business as if they will know that they will surely get profit as bitcoin is certain for profit and almost every big dealer now a day are accepting bitcoin so will do APPLE.

They'll for sure to accept it especially if it used by many already, adoption will follows when they see some ways that they can benefit on it. That might studying how to use it on them easily.

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.
Of course they would accept it. Cause its a currency after all beside bitcoin will be our money in the future and yes we will be cashless soon the money that tangible will be instinct. Apple is a smart company they will accept bitcoin give a little time for them im sure they would accept it anyway. Just wait and relax. Thats would change soon.

Yes, I do agree to the most that Apple will probably not accept bitcoin but rather create their own platform to accept digital money.
Apple is definitely a popular brand and has established a name for itself so I do not see why they cannot deem their own coin.
Not to mention that bitcoin is really volatile which mean that they have to adjust their products' price so constantly and that is quite a bit the hassle for both parties.

I don't know much about the business model of Apple, but I'm pretty sure that if the world uses crypto currencies and and everyone just up and fade fiat, then Apple wouldn't have a choice but to use it. They can always build their own coin and I'm sure they have the money to back it up.

It is not necessary to invest all your money in the purchase of bitcoin, you can only invest a small part and when the time comes, you will benefit.

I do not think that apple still need cryptocurrency in their business because they are already wealthy enough to continue the progress of their company and they are also very popular in their country so they do not need bitcoins for their company.
