Isikhethi se-apula I-Apple ishicilele imiphumela yezezimali yekota yokugcina yonyaka odlule. Inkampani isakhula, kodwa ukuthengisa kuyasondela ekupheleni kwezilinganiso eziguquguqukayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekuhlolweni okupheleleyo, kubalulekile ukucabangela ukuthi kulo nyaka ikota yokuqala ibe yisonto elifushane ngenxa kaKhisimusi.
Isamba semali engenayo yenkampani ibingama- $ 13,1 billion kanti imali engenayo ibingama- $ 54,5 billion.
Ama-iPhones ayizigidi ezingama-47,8 adayisiwe, asuka ezigidini ezingama-37 ngonyaka owedlule, inani eliphakeme kunawo wonke, kodwa ukukhula kwehlile. Ama-iPads angu-22,8 million adayisiwe, asuka ku-15,3 ngonyaka odlule. I-iPad yadumaza abahlaziyi abaningi, ababelindele ukuthengiswa okuqinile. Sekukonke, i-Apple ithengise amadivaysi e-iOS ayizigidi ezingama-75 ngekota ngayinye, futhi angaphezu kwesigamu sebhiliyoni kusukela ngo-2007.
Ulwazi oluhle yimali engenayo ezinzile evela kufoni eyodwa, inani lamadola angama-640. Ku-iPad, imali engenayo emaphakathi yehle yaya ku-$477 (isuka ku-$535), ukwehla kungenxa yesabelo esikhulu sokuthengiswa kwe-iPad mini. I-iPad encane ibikhungethwe ukutholakala okuphansi, futhi i-Apple ilindele ukuthi izinto ezitholakalayo zizophela ekupheleni kwekota yamanje. Kube nokukhathazeka ngokuthi ama-iPhones amadala ayethengiswa, lokhu kuqagela akuzange kuqinisekiswe futhi ukuxubana kufana nonyaka odlule.
Isilinganiso esimaphakathi sasingama-38,6%. Ngemikhiqizo ngayinye: iPhone 48%, iPad 28%, Mac 27%, iPod 27%.
Ukuthengiswa kweMac kwehle ngo-1,1 million kuya ku-5,2 million ngonyaka odlule. Ukungatholakali kwe-iMac entsha izinyanga ezimbili kubalulwe njengesizathu. Ama-iPod nawo ayaqhubeka nokwehla, aze afike ku-12,7 million asuka ku-15,4 million.
I-Apple inemali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-137, eseduze nengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yenani layo lemakethe. Ulwazi oluhle futhi luvela e-China, lapho kwakungenzeka khona ukuthengisa kabili (ngo-67%).
I-App Store iqophe inombolo erekhodiwe yokulandwa kwezigidigidi ezimbili phakathi noDisemba. Kunezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingaphezu kuka-300 eziklanyelwe i-iPad ngokuqondile.
Isibalo sama-Apple Stores sikhule safinyelela ku-401, kwavulwa ezintsha eziyi-11, okuhlanganisa nezi-4 zaseChina. Izivakashi ezingu-23 ziza esitolo esisodwa isonto ngalinye.
Lapha ungabona ithebula elibonisa izinguquko ekuthengisweni kwemikhiqizo ngayinye. Umbhali wethebula ngu-Horace Dediu (@asymco).
Imiphumela mihle, kodwa kuyacaca ukuthi ukukhula kuhamba kancane futhi i-Apple ibhekene nokuncintisana okunamandla. Kungalindeleka ukuthi lo nyaka ubaluleke kakhulu kule nkampani, noma iqinisekise isikhundla sayo sokusungula izinto ezintsha kanye nomholi wemakethe, noma iqhubeke nokudlulwa yizimbangi eziholwa ngabakwaSamsung. Noma kunjalo, wonke amahlebezi mayelana ne-Apple engenzi kahle, ukuthengiswa kwe-iPhone kwehla, kuvele kungamanga.
Ukuthengiswa kwamakhompyutha e-Mac kwehle kusukela ngonyaka odlule ngo-1,1 million kwaya ku-5,2….Kufanele kube khona:* ngesigidi esingu-1,1 kuya ku-4,1 million ;-) angu-5,2 million athengiswe ngalesi sikhathi ngonyaka odlule.
Ngiyabonga ngokukwazisa, ngizokulungisa ngokushesha okukhulu.
Ingabe ukubeka amazwana kusuka ku-iPhone kuyasebenza kuwe okwamanje?
Manje konke kufanele kusebenze kahle. I-Disqus ibonakala iyilungisile, ngakho-ke singayilungisa kumodi yeselula ye-iPhone.
Siyabonga ngesihloko esiyiqiniso, esicacile futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke okuhlosiwe (ngeshwa awukwazi ukukubona lokho kwenye indawo).
Ngithemba ukuthi kukhona abakwenzayo ngama-Mac, ngoba ukuthengiswa konyaka kumile futhi kuyawa. Kube yiphutha elikhulu ukuthi abazange bakhiphe ama-iMacs amasha nama-Mac Pros ngamaphrosesa amasha ehlobo, futhi umklamo wawungahlala umdala.
Kuyiphothifoliyo embi kakhulu yemikhiqizo ye-Mac eminyakeni. I-Macbooks Pro ngaphandle kwe-retina ingaphezu kwanoma yikuphi ukuqonda futhi Umoya ungaba muhle uma okungenani inkumbulo ingathuthukiswa (iphelelwa yisikhathi ngokokuziphatha ngokushesha okukhulu) futhi ihlala iyi-bazm enenani eliningi, engasebenzi, ehamba kancane futhi eshisa ngokweqile ngonyaka ngemva kokuthenga. Ngikhuluma ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami (i-macbook air 11, 2011, ML 10.8.)
Kungani, i-Airy ithengisa kakhulu, ihlezi ikhuthaza wonke lawo ma-Ultrabook. Ngisho ne-ultrabook, akulula ukushintsha inkumbulo nediski. Uma kungenjalo, ngicabanga ukuthi ukuba nama-macbook ane-retina nangenayo kuwumbono omuhle ngempela, kodwa inkinga isebangeni lentengo. Ezingenayo i-retin kufanele zishibhe kancane. Idizayini ye-macbook pro muhle, kungani uyishintsha. Mhlawumbe ngingasho nje ukuthi nge-Retina bazoba pro futhi ngaphandle kwe-retina ngaphandle kochwepheshe. Uma kungenjalo, i-Apple idinga ukungena ku-iPad futhi ingene emakethe namanye ama-iPhone. Asikho isikhala sokuqanjwa kabusha kumasevisi wamafu e-HW kanye ne-SW. Ufikile esihlokweni kusukela nini i-Samsung ingeyena umholi wemakethe?
Mhlawumbe bekuyokwanela uma inkumbulo yoMoya ibinkulu ngokuyisisekelo, noma uma kuthengwa umthamo oshibhe kakhulu. Ngamanye amazwi, ukuze umsebenzisi angacabangi nhlobo ukuthi kufanele abhekane nento enjengale esikhathini esizayo. I-iMac, i-MacPro ne-MacMini - yohlobo lwami oluthile lomsebenzi, ukukhetha okuhle, kodwa esimweni sayo samanje i-hardware ephakathi kakhulu (ikakhulukazi i-GPU), ezodlulwa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa futhi, ngokombono wami, umbhedo wamanani. Umonakalo
kahle.. yilawo ma-macbook pro retina kuphela, ngakolunye uhlangothi, abiza kakhulu... futhi Umoya wanele impela iningi lawo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngeke iphelelwe yisikhathi ngemva konyaka. kodwa ngiyavuma, kufanele uqaphele ngalolo hlaka. i-mac os idinga ngempela okuningi.
Yebo, iMacbook Pro yamanje ngaphandle kwe-retina iyangifanela, ngoba ngiyakwazi ukushintsha inkumbulo nediski kuyo. Manje ngine-MBP futhi cishe ihlale ixhunywe kusiqapha sangaphandle, ngakho kimina i-retina ayinamsebenzi.
Ngibheka i-Mac Pro kanye nenani eliphezulu le-iMac njengenhlekelele, kanye nezinkinga ngokulethwa kwe-iMac.
Kuyamangaza noma kunjalo, babenokuthengiswa kwamarekhodi, inzuzo yerekhodi futhi isitoko sehle ngo-10%. Bengilindele ngobuqotho umphumela ophambene ngemva kokushicilelwa kwemiphumela.
