What can you do with an Android phone that you cannot do with an iPhone? Which innovation do you mean? I use iPhones from the very beginning and I do not miss anything.

If Zaps grow to a relevant size they‘ll allow them again. Like they allowed wallets. Like they allowed Tor. I cannot believe they want to lose customers by disallowing Zaps.

And I’m pretty sure they are already looking into a Bitcoin/Lightning integration into their payment system. They don’t want to leave out. It might be custodial, which is ok for the amount of money you are supposed to have on your phone. They even offer savings accounts with interest rates nowadays. I see a good chance that a custodial solution by Apple might drive Bitcoin adoption more than anything else before. And it might work better than anything else - faster, more reliable. I tried out almost every Lightning wallet, sent BTC between them back and forth, also to and from my own node. The result is a catastrophe. Slow, timeouts and failures all the time. Maybe 50% success rate. It should be 99.9%, it has to.
