I guess one reason is that Apple doesn't want iPhones targeted by hackers, or they know that the platform isn't secure enough, so they don't want to take the responsibility. After all, someone could store million dollars on their iPhone. You can say that that's user's mistake if they get hacked, but this could open variety of liability issues for Apple. So they want to protect users and themselves.
Edit: The thing with Bitcoin is that it's impossible to know who steals your money. It could be Apple, NSA, russian hacker or your mom. Apple doesn't want to deal with that kind of uncertainty.

- retroafroman 13y agoIt makes some sense. If there are bitcoin wallet apps, there will be attacks that try to steal the bitcoins in the wallet. It increases the incentive to find ways to do this.

- GhotiFish 13y agoif a wallet or credentials for a wallet are stored on an iOS device, and the device gets compromised through an exploit in iOS, Who's liable? I'd say Apple isn't liable (unless they knew and chose not to fix it), but would everyone say that? Dunno. Still. I don't like this.
