Getting Ready! Apple Will Accept Purchase Of IPhone With Crypto Money

Apple accepts cryptocurrency payments (The Verge)

JAKARTA - Apple is reportedly looking for a manager to expand its business in the cryptocurrency industry. This is intended to provide alternative payment services using crypto money.

Apple revealed that prospective buyers have at least five years of experience or more working in alternative payments, such as digital wallets, instant payments, cryptocurrencies and so on.

The technology giant from the United States stated that the manager would serve as Apple's chief negotiator in terms of providing alternative payments.

"The Apple Wallets, Payment and Apple Trading team is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to lead the Alternative Payment Partnership," wrote Apple, quoted from CoinDesk, Wednesday, May 26.

In fact, Apple has been wanting to provide a new payment method on the App Store for a long time. So far, the app store does not accept other alternative payments such as using crypto money. The US-based company seems to force its customers to make payments in dollars.

This means, Apple plans to present a new payment method for its consumers, namely payment using crypto money. Previously, Apple was accused of violating antitrust laws because it was considered to hinder payment innovation.

At that time, Apple had to deal with Fortnite game developer, Epic Games. Epic said application developers could accept "bitcoin or other crypto currency" if it weren't for Apple's regulations.

Until now, Apple has not provided official information regarding the payment plan using crypto money. Apparently, Apple Pay is preparing to accept its new payment method, as compiled by MacRumors.
