Sources are reporting that Apple may be planning to release an update date to its retail store iOS app that would give the client the ability to use self-checkout for purchases of accessories and other many shelf stocked items while at the company’s retail store. The source says self checkout purchase will be charged through the Apple Store app right to the customers iTunes Store account. The one thing that is still not clear is how will the checkout work so you can show some type of receipt to an Apple store employee for the purchase, this is still unclear. The big ticket items such as the Mac computers, iPods, and iPhones will still require a employees assistance but there will be the ability through the app to pre-purchase the said item through the app store and pick them up in store.
