Apple Approves Bitcoin Wallets

[BillyBobJoe]

Yes. This is more about market share for bit coin than an apple vs android thing.

Yes, exactly. That is how it should be.

All we need now is a bigger iPhone.  That screen is far too small.

[Exergy]

Have any apps actually been approved following this chance which support bitcoin? The wording of the new terms is a bit vague, so the proof is in the pudding I guess.

^ Updated CoinJar already working on iOS in various territories.

Positively surprised indeed! Let's hope they don't go and do a China later on

Careful guys, there are also comments that the app steals coins. Not sure if bogus but no reason to download and use unless absolutely necessary.
Use only small amounts of BTC.

Apple announce this in the wake of the Bilderberg conference in Copenhagen - dunno if they were there, but i heard Google were, and the question 'Does privacy exist ?' was discussed...

[BitcoinBulls]

Looks like we were wrong to doubt Apple in this regard, but damn does it feel good to be wrong about this one!

Is there a list of clients currently available for apple?

[Musent]

This looks like it, maybe why we are once again going up after the big drop off.
This might really start things rolling.

It looks like Apple has updated its app developer guidelines today to allow for Bitcoin apps.

The new clause under section 11.17, which was flagged by folks on Twitter like investor Bill Lee today https://twitter.com/westcoastbill/status/473555837982900226, reads:

Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions.

That sounds like Bitcoin!

Wow, huge news for BTC.

Bitcoin, you have made it!

Apple haters say what you want, but if Apple has stamped bitcoin as okay, others will follow. 

The fact of the matter is that Apple has a well defined and very conservative line.  If bitcoin is good enough for Apple, lots of other organizations will think it is okay and good enough for them too.

It opens up another group to bit coin. Apple users are a very loyal group.

The sheeple will definitely follow with this.

Blockchain wallet app is still up and running for jb'd devices, non jbd though had to get them prior 12/13.

The appstore even had a cpu miner for mining scrypt coins only hashing at a measly 32khs, u had to set up a stratum proxy elsewhere though, perfect for when everyones iphone is mining for your account. 

AAPL should allow Bitcoin wallet apps provided the source is available for peer review.

First Apple, and now a few days later Facebook is allowing apps for tipping in crypto.

anyone seen any wallets on the app store?
as of now I have not

From what I read one company with the function to send bitcoin had apps and people had sent through it, but it was only in about 10 countries, and the US wasn't one of them. 

Apple makes an app store for each country, so the content of the app stores very a lot.

I'm in AUS and I currently do not see anything

http://www.coindesk.com/coinjar-apple-app-store-features-restored/

If you are in AUS, can you find an app called coinjar?

The comments say the app developer is a scammer and it's not safe to use the application.
