If iPad sales increase, it is probably because Apple is ending support for the iPod Touch which was used by a TON of companies for mobile PoS, inventory management/bar code scanners…etc.

Companies could use really reliable Apple hardware and use their own software rather than being forced to use 3rd party software and linking it in to their own internal system which many companies didn’t allow. If you used their hardware, you HAD to use their software.

I don't know of any companies that use iPod Touches for that, they all use cheap chinese knockoffs that barely work lmao. I worked many retail jobs as a young person and never once saw any brand name devices, much less Apple products. Didn't stop them from taking $500 out of your paycheck if you broke/misplaced one though, even though it likely cost them ~$150.
