After apple "bans" bitcoin and caused all sorts of drama, now they support it?
I remember several users pledged to destroy their iphones and recorded it when apple initially banned the use of bitcoin apps. Funny stuff.
There was no regulation for bitcoin. Apple was doing what they had to do to protect themselves. Living is the past and faulting someone for not accepting bitcoin earlier isn't going to help expand Bitcoin into what we want it to be. Now that Apple is allowing bitcoin into their store, why not give praise where it's due? It was a smart decision and everyone will benefit from it. I think apple had previously banned the bitcoin apps so they could study and understand Bitcoin better so they could develop policies about their apps to protect themselves and their images |

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I agree in part. The HUGE problem is security. Catch 22 situation here. I understand hot wallets should not have much in them, but the idea of having a wallet on Android (at this time) is a bit scary. I just trust Apple products a lot more here. IAS |
BTC = Black Swan.
BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

Oooh SHIT. Nice. If this refers to bitcoin (as an 'approved currency') then Bitcoin became just a little more frictionless for millions of users virtually overnight as everyone releases their apps.

Awesome move. Respect to all the individuals and companies working tirelessly to build an awesome ecosystem with or without Apple that has gained momentum and credibility in the face of some of the worst dirt (e.g. Silkroad, CryptoLocker, Mt. Gox) a product can imagine, to the extent that it's now so credible and well-spoken about that a company like Apple reverses its decision.

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

I agree, because it allows for greater flexibility, especially when it comes to multiple-coin support and features. Some features are available to android devices' apps that simply are not available to the sandboxed walled garden of Apple and its approval process. (I may be a bit biased though, I have always loved customisability to bits and that was the reason that I got my phone (nexus 5) and use the operating system that I do (debian)) |

What app are we talking about here? Judging by the fact that those pictures of blockchain.info were shown, my guess is that it has not been submitted yet. I'm anxiously waiting for it. |

who will use an application from a not trusted person  of course people still choose blockchain or offline wallet to protect their coins the only good things about smartphone is you can carry it on the go if you dont know how to use paper wallet then ios/android apps is the last resort |

This is true. The effort wouldn't be all in vain, it's just that the main motivation in making the app was to provide an option for Apple users. If they have the choice of an in-browser HTML5 app and a native app from the store, the native app will probably win  |

It's like the abusive mate coming back home with flowers and saying, "I'm not going to hit anymore." |

That native app might lose support and worst case scenario, it's removed suddenly during a software update and I have no recourse to getting those coins. I'd prefer an in-browser HTML5 app. |
