When will Apple accept bitcoins?

[FlightyPouch]

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 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.

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.

Apple will not accept Bitcoin even in the future. Why would they accept a crypto currency that might be the reason why their service will shut down. They have apple pay, why do they still need to accept Bitcoin? If they will be accepting Bitcoin, I don't know what to say. I am not saying that they won't be accepting it, I am just saying that it might not happen.

Apple won't accept BTC unless BTC somehow becomes synonymous with the dollar. They create their own tech.

[superstarbtc]

apple may nt accept bitcoin but apple will develop their own blockchain in the coming years and more merchant stand to queue to accept apple developed coin

[TelolettOm]

Apple doesn't really matter. but nowadays online stores and also recognition in a country are very much needed and will make the price of bitcoin increase later. this is one way to have a positive effect on the market

Apple will most likely create their own cryptocurrency before they accept bitcoin.  I'm not sure whether the consumer base will accept a centralized crypto like that or not though.  We all know how huge Apple is and if any company can pull it off they can, their total marketcap already hit the one trillion mark which is 10x the total crypto marketcap.

10x of crypto total marketcap? of course this will make a tremendous effect on the development of crypto. After the Nasdaq invested its funds yesterday, of course with this news we hope that there will be big developments as we expect, and other large companies like Facebook, are likely to do the same

I think Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies will also be great for Apple's business. I don't see anyway it prevents them from their closed policy as claimed in the post. They only need to accept it as payment method.

I think Apple has considered Bitcoin and Crypto to be a part of them but Apple still continues to learn more about crypto and this is important for the sustainability of their business. when Apple and Google have received crypto well then other big companies will follow and this is good for future crypto development

actually apple and other giant company want to adopt blockchain technology.but i am sure they need to synchronize and compare it  with their existing system.so when it done and technically it could be adopted i am sure bitcoin will accepted in their market.

Apple will better create its own cryptocurrency than accept Bitcoin. However, many cool and huge world-known companies use BTC. But also many companies try to create their own cryptoes.

Yes you are correct first of all they don't need the use of Bitcoin to be tied up with their company and it is not also be profitable for them so Creating your own cryptocurrency will definitely be a good idea for them because the promotion is more easier for them to make their own cryptocurrency more popular.

moreover they have big names and have customers that are already around the world, so it will be easier if they have their own crypto, and I think having their own currency, has a double development

Agree, this is the thing that won't make a big change because they are all known and used by many people before Bitcoin exists. Prices that can be seen now will make doubts to make a profit for them.

Bitcoin don't need to adapt to the world but the world need to adapt to bitcoin. When bitcoin is adopted by most of people then apple should accept  bitcoin if not then apple will have a problem on it's business. I prefer like to see google and YouTube to accept bitcoin. Apple don't have to accept bitcoin but I think it will be better if it accept bitcoin for it's better future.

Why are you suggesting which is not possible if Apple will accept bitcoin I am sure it will improve the value of bitcoin and so many more companies will accept it after that as Apple is a well known company and it has so many users so they will help bitcoin to recover faster than it will grow without acceptance of Apple so for me it’s good news.

Yeah, Apple has a closed business model, but it doesn't matter. When other important companies will accept bitcoin, also Apple will do it 

[Sithara007]

Apple, or for that matter any other manufacturer will accept Bitcoin once it becomes popular and legal. So better wait till that happens.

In my opinion, Apple is starting to lose its dominance in the tech industry. The last Iphone did not sell well because everyone knows that it's just the same from the last one with just a different name. I think we need Google, Facebook and Amazon to accept btc rather than a company that's going to die soon.

We still need Apple though, they have a wide market and it will somehow help bitcoin to increase its adoption.
If we can have all the companies you've mentioned, I would not be surprise to see the bull run again.

I don't know when Apple cooperates with Bitcoin I think bill gates will not accept bitcoin because bitcoin is a way to get money illegally in my opinion and bill gates are very honest and hard-working people
