People can now buy Apple products, including MacBook and iPhone models, from retailers that support cryptocurrency payments in a few simple steps.
How to Buy Apple Products
Apple products can be purchased in three different ways using SHIB or BTC; for example, buying products from retailers that support crypto payments, using BitPay debit cards, as well as exchanging your cryptocurrencies for gift cards and using them to purchase related Apple products.
Currently, Apple and other retailers do not accept cryptocurrency payments directly, although interestingly, people can purchase Apple MacBooks and iPhones directly from popular US retailers like Newegg.
The online retailer, in partnership with BitPay, allows users to purchase Apple products and other products using Shiba Inu and Bitcoin. The purchasing process has also been greatly simplified by the company, and now users can buy their favorite products in a few clicks using supported cryptocurrencies.
Since Apple itself does not accept crypto payments, BitPay has partnered with retail giant “Newegg” to allow users to purchase Apple products like the MacBook Pro or iPhone with Bitcoin, Shiba Inu or other Bitpay-supported crypto. As previously reported by KoinFinans, Newegg added support for the Shiba Inu (SHIB) in November last year.
BitPay explained the transaction process in its Twitter announcement for Apple products as follows:
“Newegg is your best bet to buy a MacBook Pro or iPhone with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Complete the transaction as normal and select “BitPay” under payment options. Use your BitPay Wallet or another trusted crypto wallet to complete the transaction.”
