- Visa’s stablecoin settlement volume has climbed above a $20 billion annualized run rate, up more than 15-fold from a year… — This was the first product launch event led by new CEO John Ternus, who introduced the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the Duo

Summary
No, Apple didn’t mention bitcoin, crypto, stablecoins or tokenized assets at its product launch event on Sept. 9, but the news, and lack thereof, is still somewhat relevant to the blockchain-powered industry. Apple offered no new crypto asset payment news at its new iPhone Pro, Pro Max, and Duo launch. L402 and x402 could offer Apple an alternative to subscriptions for AI micropayments. This was the first product launch event led by new CEO John Ternus, who introduced the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the Duo. After the event, the bitcoin and crypto community mostly joked about the price of the new devices measured in BTC and how one half of the Duo’s screen could be used for trading and the other for explaining crypto to family.
