Bitcoin (BTC) Price Today – BTC / USD
Apple is probably making a move to let iPhone users turn their devices into hardware wallets that permit them to store and use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for mobile purchases. It was rumored that it will allow developers to make chops for digital monikers and public and private keys that can be stored and managed by Apple’s Secure Enclave. Those keys, which can be used to store cryptocurrencies, can, in turn, be swapped by iPhone users as a method of payment through an app. Currently, it is uncertain if the yet to be launched iPhone will come with the crypto wallet feature. If Apple is going down the cryptocurrency path, it would be trailing the path of Samsung and HTC, who have made known their plans to develop native cold storage wallets on their smartphones. Last year, HTC declared that its Exodus 1 smartphone would have the ability to natively store bitcoin or Ether cryptocurrencies, while Samsung has already taken the bold step to include this feature in its flagship Galaxy 10 phone. Adding a cryptocurrency wallet on Apple will lead to large scale adoption of the cryptocurrencies.
