UMikhal Marek Namuhla, i-iOS App Store idlule enye ingqopha-mlando ebalulekile. Ngemuva kweminyaka engaphansi kwemihlanu yokusebenza, yanqoba inhloso yokulandwa okumangalisayo kwezigidigidi ezingama-50. Sekungokwesithathu i-App Store iqopha umlando kusukela yethulwa ngoJulayi 2008.
Impumelelo yokuqala enkulu yalesi sitolo ingabhekwa njengokweqa ukulandwa kwezigidigidi ezingu-10, okwenzeka ngoJanuwari 2011. I-App Store yeqe ukulandwa kwezigidigidi ezingu-25 ngonyaka owodwa kamuva. Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, u-Apple umemezele ukuthi ngaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-40 izinhlelo zokusebenza zama-iPhones, iPads kanye ne-iPod touches sezilandiwe esitolo sabo. Ngakho-ke kwacaca ukuthi isibalo sezigidigidi ezingamashumi amahlanu sizodlula kulo nyaka. Futhi kwenzeka.
Inkampani yeCupertino iqale ukubala phansi kuwebhusayithi yayo esikhathini esedlule ikhombisa uphawu lokulanda olusondela ku-50 billion. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iphinde yahlela umncintiswano wabasebenzisi be-iOS. Kumenyezelwe ukuthi umuntu onenhlanhla olanda uhlelo lokusebenza lwezigidigidi ezingama-50 uzothola ikhadi lesipho lika-$10 lokuthenga i-App Store. Abanye abangamashumi amahlanu abanenhlanhla bayobe sebethola isipho esifanayo, kodwa ngenani lama-$000. Kunjalo, akwaziwa ukuthi ubani owinile, kodwa u-Apple cishe uzomemezela igama lalowo owinile ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezizayo.
Masikhumbule ukuthi isicelo sezigidigidi ezingama-25 saya kuChunli Fu waseShayina, owandizela ekomkhulu laseBeijing le-Apple ukuze anqobe. Uhlelo lokusebenza lwezigidigidi eziyi-10 lulandwe ngu-Gail Davis wase-Kent, e-UK. UDavis waze wathintwa mathupha ngu-Eddy Cuo, omunye wamadoda aphambili akwa-Apple ngaleso sikhathi.

“Egameni labo bonke abakwa-Apple, ngithanda ukubonga amakhasimende ethu amakhulu nonjiniyela ngokusisiza ukuthi sifinyelele ukulandwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-50. I-App Store yashintsha ngokuphelele indlela esisebenzisa ngayo omakhalekhukhwini futhi yakha i-ecosystem ephumelele kakhulu engenise imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-9 zamaRandi kubathuthukisi. Sijabule kakhulu ngesikufezile esikhathini esingaphansi kweminyaka emi-5.”
