Further iEthereum Implementation Thesis

If we extend the speculation about Apple’s involvement with iEthereum, the possibilities become even more intriguing. Let's explore deeper into how Apple might introduce, develop, and navigate iEthereum’s integration into its ecosystem without jeopardizing iEthereum’s core philosophy of decentralization.

An Incremental Strategy

If Apple is behind iEthereum, they might prefer a subtle, incremental strategy rather than an abrupt revelation. Apple could introduce features and tools that indirectly integrate blockchain or cryptocurrency functionalities under the guise of improving user privacy, security, or financial freedom. For example, they could announce expanded blockchain capabilities in Apple Wallet without mentioning iEthereum specifically. Over time, this approach would allow iEthereum to become a key component of Apple’s ecosystem without drawing too much initial attention to its origins.

Apple is known for gradually implementing new technologies—often in the background—before announcing them as fully integrated features. If they adopt this method with iEthereum, users might start seeing “blockchain-enabled” payment options in their devices with cryptographic proof and decentralized authentication becoming part of daily financial transactions and other developer tools such as CryptoKit, and CryptoTokenKit becoming common place. In these scenarios, iEthereum could start being used in the backend for certain functionalities long before a full integration is announced.
