![]() " I’m sure “random POS app x” is crap." - Really? Have you used all of them? There are plenty of highly rated POS platforms for iPadOS out there. ![]() ![]() No dedicated OS needed for any reason here. iPads in schools and games? That's what locking down devices with MDM is for, Apple provides this now for education via Apple School Manager. I have no idea what you're talking about. No need for iPads, tablets or phones in those situations which probably make up the vast majority of payments. In a push, you can use your phone as a PoS if necessary although most places where I live simply bring the wireless PoS terminal to me and I pay from wherever I am. PoS terminals should not care about the hardware as long as it does the job. Why does anyone expect an iPad as a PoS device? Remember people were using credit cards before Apple Card, people were buying CDs before iTunes, you get the point. The big money-maker chains are using old school ugly outdated POS systems. Here where I live only the small mom and pop shops use iPads and the other half use Clover which is an OS specifically for business. Why not get more involved, add product stickiness and take 70%+ of POS stickiness where people EXPECT iPads to be the POS system. I’m sure you’re being sarcastic but no, not the way they’re using them now, BETTER. “Like the way people already use iPads in retail?” And, if you're interested in Apple-centric home automation, say "Hey, Siri, play HomeKit Insider," and you'll be listening to our newest specialized podcast in moments.

Updated: 12:15 PM ET as Apple replaced the references to "homeOS."įollow all the details of WWDC 2021 with the comprehensive AppleInsider coverage of the whole week-long event from June 7 through June 11, including details of all the new launches and updates. Prior to its launch of HomeKit in 2014, though, sources had claimed that the smart home technology would be called homeOS. However, Microsoft has had a smart home platform called HomeOS since 2010. It may be a development or rebranding of HomeKit, in the way that OS X was rebranded to macOS at WWDC 2016. It's conceivable that "homeOS" is to be announced at the forthcoming WWDC on June 7. The second reference, which listed Apple's mobile platforms, has changed from "iOS, watchOS, and homeOS," to "iOS, watchOS, and tvOS." Arguably tvOS is not a mobile operating system, but then nor is the HomeKit that may replace. The job ad now says that the successful applicant will be "learning the inner-workings of iOS, watchOS, tvOS and HomePod" instead of "homeOS." Shortly after that time, it published a subsequent revision that replaced the second reference too. The ad was posted by Apple on May 25, 2021.Īt shortly before 12:15 AM ET, Apple pushed out a revised description that removed the first of the two "homeOS" references. The tweeted screenshot shows only that it is a job for "stellar software engineers." However, AppleInsider can now confirm that the "homeOS" references are in at least one posting for a Senior iOS Engineer - Apple Music, based in Cupertino.
