Peter Binder Lapho i-Apple yethula i-iPhone yayo yokuqala, uSteve Jobs wabonisa ukuthi ungayivula kanjani idivayisi. Abantu bathunjwa. Vele uswayiphe ukusuka kwesokunxele uye kwesokudla futhi iPhone ivuliwe. Kwakuwukuvukela umbuso nje.
Iminyaka eminingana kusukela lapho, abakhiqizi be-smartphone kanye nabaklami besistimu yokusebenza yeselula yesikrini sokuthinta bebezama ukukopisha ukuqaliswa okuyingqayizivele kwe-Apple. Bafuna ukufeza ibha ephezulu ebekwe abaklami bemilingo baseCupertino.
Kusukela ngesonto eledlule, i-Apple ekugcineni ingumnikazi welungelo lobunikazi eyalisebenzisa eminyakeni emithathu edlule (okungukuthi ngo-2007) ngezici ezimbili ezihlukile ze-iPhone. Lawa "amaslayidi ukuze uvule" ocingweni olukhiyiwe kanye nezinhlamvu eziphuma lapho uthayipha kukhibhodi. Kungase kungenzeki nakumsebenzisi ojwayelekile ukuthi lezi yizici ezidinga ilungelo lobunikazi. Nokho, okuphambene kuyiqiniso.
U-Apple ufundile eminyakeni edlule. Akazange agunyaze ukubukeka kwesistimu yakhe yokusebenza. I-Microsoft yathatha umbono we-Apple njengowayo, futhi umphumela waba ingxabano yezomthetho yeminyaka eminingi eyaqala ngokuthi i-Apple ifake icala ngo-1988. Yathatha iminyaka emine futhi isinqumo savunywa ngesikhalo ngo-1994. ukuqedwa kwenkantolo kanye nokunikezwa kwamalungelo obunikazi okuhlukahlukene.
Ihhovisi le-Patent ne-Trademark yase-United States (Inothi lomhleli: I-United States Patent and Trademark Office) inikeze i-Apple amalungelo obunikazi amabili ngesonto eledlule anesihloko esithi “Isikhombikubona somsebenzisi esinesithombe esinyakazayo sokuboniswa noma izingxenye zakhona”.
Ngenxa yaleli qiniso, uSteve Jobs usengakwazi ukuvula nokukhiya i-iPhone yakhe ngendlela athanda ngayo. Akumele bakhathazeke ngokuthi ngabe bakhona yini abakhiqizi be-smartphone abaqhudelanayo abakopisha lesi sici.

Ngakho-ke, abakhiqizi be-sciiPhone bazokwenzani manje, noma lithini ngempela igama ledivayisi ye-1500-auro engibeke izandla zami kuyo ngesonto eledlule?
IShayina noma kunjalo, ngakho-ke bazoyikopisha ngenjabulo futhi izilima zizoyithenga njengefoni, akukho mahlaya.
Petr, ngi-PM i-imeyili yakho (isidlaliso ovi77) lapha noma esithangamini. Ngidinga umusa omncane kuwe :) Ngiyabonga
