This has many shades of potential pettiness.
First, it has nothing to do with MBAs.
And of course we don't really know how budgets are allocated? That they might have just bought their iPads as part of the purchase cycle whereas 'Eng guy' already had one, and 'the sensor' wasn't enough to justify a new one? And that everything customer-facing has to be relatively new? And that 'the trip' they were on has nothing to do with anything?

If he's complaining about a bad sensor it means that sensor was hindering his testing, otherwise he wouldn't have even noticed.
