Yes, I thought of this but I don't want to have to pay tax on BTC -> USD. That conversion would be taxed as a sale of assets, I think.

<p>How can I buy Apple products? I want to buy the new iPad Mini, and I'd use Gyft to convert BTC to Amazon credit, but the new iPad is not yet on Amazon. Is there any way to buy the new iPad Mini, either directly through Apple or through a 3rd party?</p>

This question is off-topic because it is asking for a service recommendation, and too broad, because it doesn't specify necessary information such as the country you want to buy the product in.
