“ Why The Toy Industry Hates the iPad The number one most requested toy for Christmas this year is the iPad. And it’s also popular among parents as a gift for their children. And boy does the toy industry hate that. The reason is that the iPad replaces not a single toy type, but thousands of them. Apps make the iPad a replacement for all kinds of toys that parents now don’t have to buy. So the hardware takes away money that would have been spent on toys, then the apps take away money that parents would later spend on games, content, coloring books and so on.
