Square is a POS, cash register company. Why would Apple be interested in it?


It's an area ripe for disruption. Apple is already a payment processor (iTunes) and has easy to use touchscreen devices (iPad). Seems like a good fit to me.


The "POS" acronym is really, really unfortunate.


People said the same thing when they acquired Siri.
