What professional applications require ios?

I had an insurance adjuster at my house to evaluate hail damage earlier this year and he did everything on an iPad. My doctor uses an iPad for Medscape (? not sure if that's right) and some other mobile point of care app. My mother in law is a real estate agent and her office uses iPads for everything.
There's a ton of them and it's a very hot area right now. It's a great time to be an iOS developer.

It's worth noting that some (probably most) of these aren't iOS exclusives; I've had Medscape on quite a few of my Android devices over the last couple years, for example.
Oh for sure. Many are fairly thin wrappers around web api client.
Not even iOS - there are thousands hybrid apps being built on business platforms like Salesforce.
iOS development is becoming 'just another' language in your stack.
Alright, I see now. Thanks.
