At a time when we are starting to meet more and more often with virtual wallets, it comes Apple with his own patent that could predict the arrival of his own currency, the iMoney. The new virtual currency would allow users to iOS devices to make real payments with the help of virtual money that would be stored on the storage iCloud of the given user. Apple he applied for this patent at the end of January 2013, which makes it a relatively new patent with a relatively real use.
According to Applu users could make their payments through the technology NFC, which, according to Phil Schiller, on the phone iPhone we don't expect, at least not at the moment. Apple mentions in the patent that users of this service could acquire and earn their iMoney team that they would watch the advertisement that he would offer them in his services, or buy a coupon in the store Apple Store. Thanks to the first option, it doesn't have to be the music of the distant future. After all, we already have ads in free apps today, and we should see ads in iRadio as well.
The very fact that users could earn virtual money, which they could then use to make payments, could be the motivation for users to start noticing and becoming more aware of advertising. However, the service is likely to be visibly limited as Apple tvrred that with this virtual currency it would be possible to buy products and services from Applu, or pay fees to mobile operators. Apple could also compete with the existing BitCoin project, as the Californian giant can today claim more than 500 million active users with Apple ID. Whether that will happen, however, is questionable.
