Last I read you don’t even get an App Store (!) to install third-party apps on the device, so I’m not sure if that’s possible.

Yes, but that could change. The hardware itself would certainly be capable. And a POS system can also be cloud based, although not ideal. For hotels, these systems are already cloud based, but then the display is a bit small instead.

It doesn't have its own app store. It runs the apps on your phone, so feel free to add any of the 2,000,000+ apps on the iPhone App Store to it.

So, for a commercial POS system to work, you’ll need a home view and an iPhone in its vicinity to work? Why not just use an iPad? I see loads of places using iPads or even just iPhones.

Except it has no dev kit, it just runs widgets and carplay UIs...
