Dublin, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "How Mobile POS is Reshaping Retail Journeys - mPOS Market Study - 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report looks at the Mobile POS (mPOS) Market in North America, including how many devices were shipped for the last 3 years. It also includes how many are currently installed, and what the forecast is for new shipments in the next several years. While this is not market share by vendor, it does include the types of devices offered by HP, Apple, Oracle, Samsung and others.
Going forward, we expect the story to change a bit, as Tier I retailers have begun to embrace mPOS in a much bigger way with new customer journeys. This phase started with COVID, however, even the largest retailers are considering doing mobile first design for the POS so they only have one app regardless of the client. This is also leading many retailers to consider using mobile POS devices that can be fixed or mobile to be used in their stores.
There is a new level of maturity in systems and decisions for enterprise retailers. While consumer devices might look cooler, the need for enterprise class wi-fi and security with the explosion of IoT devices deployed has forced retailers to grow up. Also, that premium between enterprise class and consumer class is shrinking bringing many of these decisions to the forefront of CIO offices going forward. The customer of today and tomorrow are mobile and multi-channel causing retailers to adjust accordingly.
This research looks at the current state of Mobile POS in North America, the adoption rates of the various retail verticals, and the shipment and installed base details by type of device (Rugged Handheld, Non-Rugged Handheld, and Tablets). It includes market sizing, trends, and forecasts through 2029.
This study is designed for use by Private Equity Investors, Mobile POS Hardware and Software Providers, Service Providers, Maintenance Providers, Retailers and others who might have a vested interest in the North American Mobile Point-of-Sale Market.

US-China trade, inflation, Apple's big event: Here's what the stock market is watching this week
Investors will be monitoring a host of potentially market-moving events this week, with updates due on trade and inflation, while Apple kicks off a highly anticipated product event. Recession fears have edged down after the turmoil that racked markets earlier in the spring, but the market is still struggling with uncertainty regarding President Donald Trump's trade policies and their implications for the economy. While last week's jobs report showed a solid labor market, investors are monitoring how the inflation side of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate fares this week, and how it will influence the rate-cut outlook for the year. Meanwhile, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference will provide insight into not only new software updates but also the future of the AI race among mega-cap tech companies. Here's what investors are watching this week. US-China trade talks After last week's phone call between Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping, China and US trade officials are meeting in London on Monday for two days of trade negotiations. Last month's trade talks were key to calming recession fears and helped propel the S&P 500 to its highest levels since February, but concerns still remain. The biggest negotiation topic will be over China's exports of rare earth metals, which are critical components in manufacturing semiconductors, smartphones, and other technologies. Continued improvements in trade relations between the two countries will be critical to reducing volatility in the market and could shed clarity on the direction of tariff rates. CPI data The consumer price index for May will be released on Wednesday. Last month 's reading of 2.3% was fairly benign, but investors will continue to watch for signs of Trump's tariffs showing up in the hard data. Importantly, the reading will be key in determining the Fed's next move. The median forecast is for annual consumer inflation to have risen 2.5% last month. Meanwhile, expectations for the June 17 Fed meeting are for officials to keep interest rates unchanged. "The big surprise could be how little Trump's tariffs are boosting inflation despite upward pressures on prices-paid and prices-received indexes in the Fed's regional business surveys," wrote on Sunday. Yet, some strategists have predicted that inflation will pick up in the back half of this year, spurring stagflation concerns. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment will get a fresh reading on Friday. Sentiment has been low as Americans feel pessimistic about tariffs, though hard data that the Fed looks at has held up. Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference All eyes will be on Apple this week as it kicks off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, where the company is expected to unveil new AI features embedded in iOS 19. The conference will be an opportunity for Apple to address several headwinds it has faced this year. "In a nutshell WWDC is a pivotal moment in Apple's future as the developers are the hearts and lungs of the Cupertino growth story with the Street being laser-focused on Apple today," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote. The tech giant has trailed peers like Microsoft and Google in the AI race, and its stock has taken a beating this year as the worst-performing Magnificent Seven member, largely due to concerns about tariffs and iPhone production. Last month, Trump threatened a tariff of at least 25% on iPhones not made in the US. Investors will be looking for updates on Apple Intelligence as well, as the company's AI offering has been underwhelming to Wall Street. A key bond auction The US Treasury sells a lot of bonds, and usually the sale is unremarkable for markets. However, with deficit concerns running high as the GOP budget bill moves through Congress, a $22 billion auction of 30-year bonds on Thursday could move the market if demand appears weak. A weak sale of 20-year bonds last month rattled markets and sent yields surging, and all eyes are on this week's sale as a potential investor referendum on the sweeping tax and spending bill.

WWDC 2025 live: Updates from Apple's keynote including new iOS, iPadOS, Apple Intelligence and more
It's time again for Apple's annual worldwide developer conference, and we're itching to see what the company will officially share today. Last year's WWDC saw the official unveiling of Apple Intelligence — the company's set of updates involving machine learning and language models that its competitors Google and Microsoft had already teed up years ago. At WWDC 2025, we expect to see the usual announcements around the next versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and visionOS. But instead of various different numbers indicating the generation of each platform like before, this year might see the company adopt a unified year-based naming standard that would result in things being called iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26 and such as opposed to iOS 19 and watchOS 12 as anticipated. If you want to watch Apple's keynote presentation for yourself, check out how to watch WWDC 2025 for details on the various places you can find the livestream. For those who prefer following along a third-party liveblog that's largely text- and image-based, scroll down for our coverage right here! The keynote starts at 1PM ET (or 10AM PT) but our liveblog begins hours before that, as we plan to share our experience and impressions live from Apple Park in Cupertino. You should absolutely join us around 10AM ET for the full experience to feel like you're right here with us. The pictures of snacks alone should be worth it. Hello! That's the first word you see when setting up a new Apple device and also on this liveblog! That was not a cliched opening for this at all! Welcome to our live coverage of WWDC 2025. Myself and deputy editor Nate Ingraham are on the ground in Cupertino to bring you all the latest from the company's keynote today. As we make our way to Apple Park, please keep us in your thoughts. I really need all the luck and good vibes to secure a seat that's comfortably situated under shade today.

‘Elon is sticking to his principles': Musk's father says Trump dispute triggered by stress
The clash between Donald Trump and Elon Musk intensified after Musk criticised the president's tax and spending bill, sparking a heated social media exchange. Errol Musk, Elon's father, highlighted the intense stress both sides faced over months and urged for an end to the public battle. Trump warned of 'serious consequences' should Musk support Democrats, despite Musk's prior financial backing of Trump's 2024 campaign and collaboration on downsising government operations. The dispute between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was triggered by months of intense stress on both sides, and the public battle between the US president and the billionaire donor needs to stop, Musk's father told Reuters on Monday. Trump and Musk began exchanging insults last week on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president's sweeping tax and spending bill as a "disgusting abomination". Asked whether he thought his son had made a mistake by engaging in a public clash with the president, Errol Musk said people were sometimes unable to think as clearly as they should "in the heat of the moment." "They've had five months of intense stress," Musk told Reuters at a conference in Moscow organised by conservative Russian tycoons. "With all the opposition cleared and two people left in the arena, all they have ever done is get rid of everything and now they are trying to get rid of each other - well that has to stop." Asked how it would end, he said: Oh, it will end on a good note - very soon. Neither the White House nor Musk could be reached for comment outside normal US business hours. Trump said on Saturday his relationship with Musk was over and that there would be "serious consequences" if the world's richest man decided to fund US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Musk bankrolled a large part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump named Musk to head an effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. Musk's father told reporters he was standing by his son. "Elon is sticking to his principles but you cannot always stick to your principles in the real world," Musk's father said. "Sometimes you have to give and take." Speaking beside sanctioned Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, Musk's father praised President Vladimir Putin as a "very stable and pleasant man." He accused "fake media" in the West of projecting "complete nonsense" about Russia and for casting it as an enemy.
