I feel your bias is showing here brother. You want a company to bend the knee to Bitcoin and Nostr? Bitcoin and Nostr do not need Apple. The developing world and people living under oppressive regimes need freedom more than anyone else in the world. They use Android. I'm sorry but that's the truth. Apple is a great marketing company. Apple makes great hardware. It's just not for the masses of the world. They brand themselves as a luxury company with luxury devices. Not everyone can't afford them and it's pretty narrow-minded to forget about the rest of the world.

Will most likely will have a Nostr client on iOS for Apple users because it would be silly to write off those users, but all of the innovations will be developed elsewhere. Maybe in 4 years, as per Apple's track record, they'll change their mind when they can announce a way to store your Nostr private key in Apple wallet. Until then, Will and others will build for the masses and innovate for the masses.
