Apple, a giant in the technology industry has placed a ban on mining cryptocurrencies like bitcoin with the iphone. This new rule by Apple was updated in its developer guidelines.
Bitcoin mining generate excessive heat, drains the battery of the device and also strain the resources of the devices unnecessarily and this is what Apple aims to reduce by placing this new ban in the iPhone.

Mining bitcoin requires a significant large chunk of energy and also computing power and it is not visible for anyone to totally rely on an iPhone or iPad but Apple intends to discourage and terminate any future attempt to mine cryptocurrencies that will require a lesser amount of energy and that will release lower heat energy on its device.
The guidelines include cryptocurrency but that language remained the same as an archived version of the site recorded in late May by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
