David Hanak Kulo nyaka, i-Apple isebenzisa imikhuba esingakayijwayele kakhulu. Selokhu kuqale ukuthengiswa kwama-iPhones amasha, sekunezinkulumo zokuthi ukunyuka kwentengo akusebenzi kahle kakhulu kanti i-Apple idayisa ama-iPhone ambalwa kunalokhu obekulindelekile. Inkampani izama ukulwa nalo mkhuba ngezindlela ezimbalwa ebezingacatshangwa ngaphambili.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Sekuphele izinsuku ezimbalwa kwavela ulwazi kuwebhu lokuthi i-Apple izobuyisela i-iPhone X emakethe. Cishe ezinsukwini ezintathu ngemva kwalokhu kuqagela, kwenzekile futhi i-iPhone X yavela ezitolo futhi eJapane. Isizathu? Ukuthengiswa okubi kakhulu kwemikhiqizo emisha yalo nyaka, ikakhulukazi i-iPhone XR, okuthiwa ayizange idayiswe nhlobo eJapane. Inkampani ize inikeze nesaphulelo ku-iPhone entsha, eshibhile ngokusebenzisa opharetha.
I-Apple manje isilungiselela esinye isinyathelo esinobungane esibheke kumakhasimende enhlabathini yasekhaya e-USA. Uhlelo olusha lokuhwebelana luqale ukusebenza lapha, lapho i-Apple igqugquzela abanikazi bama-iPhone amadala ukuthi bawashintshele amasha. Lokhu bekungeke kube okungajwayelekile, u-Apple wasebenzisa imikhuba efanayo ngaphambili. Okusha, nokho, inani lezimali i-Apple elinikeza amakhasimende ase-US. Esikhundleni samadola angama-50 noma ayi-100 ajwayelekile, abantu abanentshisekelo bangathola amadola afinyelela ku-300, abangawasebenzisa lapho bethenga i-iPhone XS noma i-XR.
Okufanele ukwenze nje ukuba ne-iPhone 7 Plus (nentsha) futhi ikhasimende linelungelo lokuthola isaphulelo esiphezulu. Ngama-iPhone amadala nashibhile, inani lezikweletu zokuhweba liyehla ngokwemvelo, kodwa noma kunjalo, lisengcono kakhulu kunazo zonke izinhlelo ezifanayo zeminyaka edlule. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kunyuswa okukhawulelwe akukona ukuphela kwe-Apple eyethule emakethe yase-US ezinsukwini zakamuva. Muva nje, inkampani iphinde inikeze izaphulelo ezingu-10% kumakadebona kanye namalungu ombutho wezempi.
Ulwazi olungenhla alusithinti ngokuqondile, kodwa kuyathakazelisa ukubona ushintsho esimweni sengqondo i-Apple esithatha kwezinye izimakethe. Ngokolwazi lwangaphandle, izisebenzi ezimbalwa ezisezikhundleni eziphezulu ezisebenza emnyangweni wezokumaketha wakwa-Apple zisusiwe enyangeni edlule. Manje yibona abaphethe imicimbi yokumaketha ukusiza ukuthengisa ama-iPhones amasha, ikakhulukazi ngokufika kwesizini kaKhisimusi ezayo.
Kuze kube manje, kubonakala sengathi i-Apple iqala ukukhokhela ukukhuphuka kwesikhathi eside kwamanani entengo yemikhiqizo yayo (kulokhu, ama-iPhones). Isimo cishe asisizwanga ukuthi umjikelezo wempilo ojwayelekile wezingcingo ukhule kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva. Inani labasebenzisi abashintshe i-iPhone yabo endala bayenze entsha minyaka yonke liyancipha kancane kancane ngenxa yezinga eliphezulu kanye "nehlala isikhathi eside" izizukulwane zakamuva.
Okokuqala, i-Apple ingashintsha ukhiye wokushintsha ulimi nokhiye wokushintsha. Kuyacasula kakhulu ukuba nayo "ilungile" kumodi ye-portrait nokunye okuphambene nokwakheka kwezwe. Okungenani iku-iPhone 7. Yonke ikhibhodi ye-landscape inegazi.
Sawubona, ngizothenga ifoni, kodwa i-€3400 ye-laptop, lokho amandla nje... futhi ingenza ngokuyisisekelo lokho ikhompuyutha ephathekayo kusukela eminyakeni engu-6 edlule, lapho ibiza u-€1200, kuphela manje isinesibonisi esingcono, esingcono. izipikha futhi ilula, inamachweba amancane futhi ayinayo i-magsafe…
Mina ngokwami ngishintshe i-7+ yami nge-XR. Isinqumo sokugcina senziwa kuphela ngemva kokuqhathanisa kwangempela ku-istor. I-XS yayincane kanti i-XS Max yayinkulu futhi isindayo. I-XR ilungile. Inani alibanga nandaba.
U-Apple ubonakala ethukile :D
Kube nesihloko muva nje ukuthi abasebenzisi abakhulu be-Apple ngabantu abanemali encane abayithengayo ukuze abangani babo bacabange ukuthi bangcono.
Ngakho-ke uma i-Apple iqala ukunikeza amaselula amasha cishe mahhala, nginovalo lokuthi izolahlekelwa iningi labalandeli bayo, abazoshintshela kokuthile okubonakala sengathi ku-IN.
