The news arrived on the heels of Apple approving a newer wallet app called Coinpocket for inclusion in the App Store, and for Blockchain CEO Nicolas Cary, this proves that Coinpocket is no fluke. That’s a big deal for the world of bitcoin, a currency that exists only on the internet, independent of governments and free from the control of big banks. The currency entered the consciousness of the general public last year—in a very big way—but has since struggled to significantly expand its reach, due to various setbacks. Maybe the iPhone and the iPad can help restart its engines.

I think it's a good news for the bitcoin community and perhaps this will influence the market price. It seems to me kind of odd that at first Apple had been so bullish on Bitcoin, and now seems more open to it. I think other companies will follow this trend.

Bitcoin is the future, right?

With all the merchant adoption lately and with the financials taking stronger looks into the BTC ecosystem, I bet Apple was embarrassed back into being on the cutting edge. Heck, if they want to let Android and Blackberry be the mobile devices of the future, they could've just kept up their neanderthal treatment of Bitcoin.
