When will Apple accept bitcoins?

[cryptodv]

Apple doesn't need to accept Bitcoin. They probably think crypto is a sham, especially with the whole $BCH fiasco this week. It's a damn joke right now.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

The funny thing about discussions like this is that these corporations don't want bitcoin.  They want fiat, and even when businesses accept bitcoin, the payment processor converts the bitcoin to fiat before the merchant ever receives it. 

Why should Apple care one iota about taking bitcoin as payment for their products & services?  It might be a convenience to a fraction of their customer base, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to affect Apple's business to any appreciable extent.  Sure, I'd like to see it happen--but only because I'd like to see bitcoin be more widely adopted.

Apple computers got me through college, but I switched to other PCs for home computing and Samsung for smartphoning quite a while ago.  What Apple does or doesn't do doesn't concern me in the least.

I think apple need more time to accepts bitcoin because of the bad news about this , but if apple is keep forward in bitcoin and look the good purposes of this and i think someday apple accept this. We didn`t know what happen just wait and let see .

[Jamburn]

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.

I think it is just the matter of time. Apple will need blockchain to develop and it will accept bitcoin soon.

big companies, like Apple won't need bitcoin anymore, bro. Apple can make its own coins which will certainly sell on the market because you know too, that Apple is very well known throughout the world. Apple itself has a very large capacity to be able to change the payment system using Apple Pay or Apple Cash might appear

Yes, apple is a big and well knew company throughout the whole world and they can issue their own coin but  I want you to know that they have already make use of bitcoin wallet back into  their store before they removed it six months after and I dont know the reason behind their action.

Apple and every company will accept bitcoin because they would have no option for them to avoid bitcoin it is good to buy now, many coins are growing but due to market fluctuations some time it affects by news in the crypto against and this is the future currency so that we can say that it is good for every corporation.

If all major brand or companies starts accepting bitcoin it would turn out to be boon as demand of such coins will rise in coming months and thus the price will also recover quickly and keep on rising. But still we have not seen such bigger brands start accepting crypto currency.

I think Apple will accept cryptocurrencies in 2019, but it is not necessarily bitcoin, it could be XRP or XLM. The world is developing rapidly. In 2019, Apple will definitely cooperate with cryptocurrencies. Now that Apple is declining, it must change its strategy quickly.

I don't know when the apple will start to accept the Bitcoin as payment. As well Bitcoin is volatile and due to this its price always changes. Might be there are some reasons which have made the Apple to not accept it as a way of payment.

[jjjfff]

Bitcoin volatility is a consequence of it not being widely used yet.

Soon as Bitcoin becomes more widespread, its value will become clearer and more stable.

[JohnBitCo]

It can be achieved in 2019. This is my personal opinion. I think many commercial giants are now developing their own cryptocurrency. This is the future of mankind. You don't have to worry about companies like Apple having an impact on cryptocurrencies. Please note that there are political factors.

Apply and many other giants companies will accept bitcoin when they will see their competitors are accepting it and by not accepting bitcoin as a payment method they could lose good quantity of orders. So they will have no option but to accept bitcoins.

- The answer will always be never, Apple will not accept bitcoin, they do not want it to participate in their products or their payments because what you are saying, this is also the comment of many people in this topic, they say that bitcoin is very good but the value is always changing very quickly, fluctuating according to the buying and selling volume of the market, and that really hindered it from becoming a payment method. In addition, bitcoin seems to impede control from the government, the government did not like it, accepting bitcoin is similar to being against the government, Apple will not be able to do that

of course these large companies do not want to miss the technology, seeing the increasing number of bitcoiners, of course they accept their customers when paying with btc. and this is a good step

tl;dr Apple = closed. BTC = open.

I think that Apple does not consider Bitcoin as a competitor. Bitcoin is most likely treated as a payment instrument. High volatility in the market makes it difficult to accept bitcoin. If the cryptocurrency market becomes more civilized, then I am sure that Apple will accept payments in Bitcoin as well.

For now it won't get good information from Bitcoin for all other types of products because the falling price of Bitcoin makes everyone start lazy to do something new.

[sidodadii]

really? accepting bitcoin for apple? then what?
actually, some party no need to accept bitcoin to prove that they can do something. bitcoin just cryptocurrent to speed up transaction if needed. if someone or party need it. or maybe for investation. if they dont need it, they just do like usual.

I think it will not take long before apple will accept bitcoin. Although Microsoft's founder has already expressed its negative perception towards bitcoin, i still believe that everyone has it's own perception towards bitcoin. So i hope Apple will be the opposite one.

It is more like the war of the ideologies and I think in the end, blockchain and Bitcoin will be having a high demand. They have great potential to replicate the business and add more demand into the market.

I don't know that Apple accepts bitcoin, but Apple's creator is against Bitcoin. I think it's not possible because I don't like it and more bitcoin is better not working with Apple. I think so thank you.

That's right, but if my prediction with a long time ago, Apple will definitely accept bitcoin to be used as a transaction tool, because there are already cellphone companies that already accept bitcoin.

But I think Apple will accept bitcoin because bitcoin is one of the best currency which is using all over the world and that is why everyone want to work with bitcoin so many business dealers are accept this currency and buy more bitcoin because they know it is very profitable currency and a lot of people better know about this currency, so that's why online shopping will very helpful with bitcoin so a lot of companies will get more benefits.

Apple is a technological giant that you would expect to have started using bitcoin  cryptocurrency in its operations by now. But it is like they are not yet comfortable with the unpredictable nature of cryptos.
