Hey everyone, I came across some buzz about Apple teaming up with Ripple XRP to introduce a new ‘Tap to Pay’ feature for iPhone users. Supposedly iPhones would be able to transact funds directly between each other using Ripple’s Interledger extension. I saw a tweet stating that Ripple was featured in an ad alongside Apple’s iOS 18 features, confirming this collaboration. What are your thoughts on this? Could Ripple’s technology really be behind this new payment function?
I’ve seen “rumors” about Apple’s Payment Request API being linked to Ripple’s Interledger Protocol. While the Payment Request API can support multiple payment methods, Apple has NOT mentioned Ripple or Interledger in any of their announcements. This feels more like another false rumor than fact.
You are correct. Apple has never mentioned teaming up with Ripple for a ‘tap to pay’ feature on iPhones, supposedly linked to iOS 18 features. There’s no evidence that Apple has mentioned Ripple in this context.
The original article JackTheRippler referenced in his Twitter post, which was originally published in 2018 and revised in 2020, suggests that there is potential for integration between Apple’s Payment Request API and Ripple’s Interledger Protocol. However, it simply states that such integration is possible without indicating that Apple has ever considered it.
The post by JackTheRippler on twitter is nothing short of a scam post. Makes me think he is affiliated with Ripple.
Regarding the recent article on Binance that suggests collaboration between Ripple XRP and Apple for the ‘Tap to Pay’ feature on iPhones, I want to address some concerns. It’s crucial to note that this article appears to be based on misinformation, and its credibility is questionable. There’s speculation that the source of this fake news may be JackTheRippler, a Twitter user known for frequently spreading false information to manipulate XRP investors.
While there’s no solid evidence linking JackTheRippler to Ripple or any official XRP channels, it’s essential to approach his tweets with skepticism. It’s prudent to treat any claims made by JackTheRippler as potentially false and not rely on his information for investment decisions.
I strongly advise against following JackTheRippler on Twitter and encourage everyone to verify information from reputable sources before making any financial decisions. Let’s remain vigilant and ensure that we don’t fall victim to deceptive practices in the crypto community.
No, Apple did not partner with Ripple XRP for the Tap to Pay feature. This rumor was clearly, in my opinion, JackTheRippler trolling everyone. It’s important to approach such claims with skepticism, especially considering the current state of Ripple’s legal battles. It is highly unlikely that XRP will make any significant moves in terms of partnerships or price increases until it wins the SEC lawsuit, if it wins at all.
Until there’s a resolution with the SEC, it’s best to be cautious and not take anything JackTheRippler says as fact. His posts often seem designed to mislead and manipulate the market.
99% of the rumors surrounding XRP are just fake news—it’s a scam coin in disguise.
