I need a bitcoin wallet for iphone but seems like apple has removed all wallets apps from the store, what can I do?
Don't tell me that android is better, I know it, but now I need a wallet for apple. I thought to use bitstamp as a wallet but is not very practical, is there something better?

I would suggest you switch to Android. I had an Iphone but switched to Samsung note 3 the same day they removed the app. Blockchain and Coinbase apps are pretty good on android.
Even if you find an app on apple they may remove it eventually until they realize BTC in unstoppable. Anyway let us know if you find a solution.

Apple hates Bitcoin, bans and removes all Bitcoin apps from their appstore.
Switch to Android, plenty of wallet options there.

You can try accessing the blockchain.info web wallet with a browser. Perhaps Safari or Chrome? I'm not sure if either of those will interact with the website properly, but it might be worth a try. I've heard rumors that blockchain.info is looking into creating a fully HTML 5 enabled web wallet for a much smoother and more user friendly web interface on iOS devices, but even if the rumor turns out to be true, you might have to wait a few months before they make it available to the public. I got frustrated with Apple, and just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for $45. I pay $5 per month for the internet service from Sprint. I loaded a bitcoin wallet and absolutely nothing else on it at all. For the elimination of frustrations and reliable access to my hot wallet bitcoins, I decided that was a reasonable price to pay. |

Sorry about everyone telling you android is better. You can jailbreak your device and download the blockchain.info app. |

This will be your only option on Iphone, unless you can jailbreak it and download the app from somewhere, but be careful if you do. |

Ok, it seems that using an app is not an option. So the only thing to do is try to use an online wallet through the browser, what do you suggest? Blockchain.info or something else.
P.S. I already have an android device but I have to meet a guy with an iphone that wants to buy some bitcoin from me and we need a simple way to do and verify the transaction. He is new to bitcoin so if it becomes too complicated probably he will give up with bitcoin, he won't buy a samsung just to buy a bitcoin.

If you're going to be a seller of bitcoins, maybe sign up and use LocalBitcoins through a browser.

If I use localbitcoin just as a wallet without escrow I need to pay fees? |

You won't have to pay the 1% fee for the escrow. However, it is very dangerous to leave a significant amount of bitcoins at localbitcoins for an extended amount of time. At any time the website could disappear or be shut down and you would lose your bitcoins forever. |

Bitcoin is among the many things that Apple has censored. That is the downside of purchasing a DRM infected locked down device such as an iPhone. The best option is to ditch Apple and purchase a competitive device such as Android phone or later the one of the upcoming Ubuntu phones. In the meantime there are also some options to break out of the Apple censorship jail.  Edit: One option but only after escaping from the Apple censorship jail: https://blockchain.info/wallet/iphone-app |

you can jailbreak your iphone and add the office blockchain.info wallet from cydia. You may also be able to manually add the blockchain.info app store app if you get like a disk manager for your iphone.. |

Blockchain wallet can be accessed via IPHONE browser to send or recieve BTC. I use it but I don't keep a lot of funds on it. I look at kind of like carring a wallet in downtown Detroit... I don't carry more than I can afford to lose. |
