Ondrej Holzman Eminyakeni yamuva nje, awukho umkhiqizo we-Apple osekukhulunywe ngawo mayelana nokufa kwawo kaningi njenge-iPod, noma wonke ama-iPod. Namuhla, abadlali bomculo abavele beyinganekwane, u-Apple akhulume nabo emhlabeni womculo njengabanye abambalwa ngaphambi kwawo, balahlekelwa ukuhlobana kwabo ngokushesha nangokushesha. Ubufakazi futhi ukuthengiswa okuhlala kwehla kwama-iPod. Kuwumkhuba ongenakunyakaziswa futhi ngisho ne-Apple ngeke ikuvimbe...
Njengokujwayelekile, singathatha okwengeziwe emiphumeleni yezezimali yekota edlule eyembulwe u-Apple ngenyanga edlule. Impela kwakungesona isikhathi esingaphumelelanga, njengoba ezinye izintatheli nabahlaziyi bezama ukubikezela. Phela, inzuzo ephezulu ye-15 emkhakheni wezinkampani emlandweni ayikwazi ukwehluleka, nakuba abaningi belinganisa i-Apple ngenye indlela.
Nokho, kubalulekile ukubheka imiphumela nhlangothi zombili. Ngokungeziwe ekuthengisweni okuqinile kwama-iPhones, kukhona nemikhiqizo, ngokuphambene nalokho, engenzi kahle. Sikhuluma ngokucacile ngama-iPod, aqhubeka nokuhlehla enkazimulweni yawo futhi abe yinto engathandeki kangako ku-Apple. Izidlali zomculo ze-Apple zithengisiwe kusukela okungenani ngo-2004, lapho i-iPod yakudala yesizukulwane sesine enomshini wokuchofoza oyisithonjana iqala ukungena emakethe.
Ngenkathi ama-iPhones eletha imali eningi esikhwameni se-Apple okwamanje (ngaphezu kwesigamu), ama-iPod awasafaki noma yini. Yebo, izingxenye ezimbili nezintathu kwezine zesigidi ezithengisiwe kwikota edlule zinethezekile i-Apple cishe ingxenye yesigidigidi samadola, kodwa lokho kuyisigamu kuphela salokho okwakuyikho ngonyaka odlule, futhi kumongo wayo yonke imali engenayo, ama-iPod amele iphesenti elilodwa nje. Ukwehla konyaka nonyaka kuyisisekelo, futhi ama-iPod ngeke esasindisa ngisho noKhisimusi, lapho ukuthengiswa kwe-iPod ngonyaka odlule ngesikhathi esiqinile ngokwesiko akuzange kukhuphuke ngaphezu kwesilinganiso okokuqala, kodwa ngokuphambene nalokho kwawela kakhulu kuwo.
I-Apple ithule ngempumelelo ngabadlali bayo bomculo unyaka nesigamu. Igcine ukwethula izizukulwane ezintsha ze-iPod touch ne-nano ngo-September 2012. Kusukela lapho, ishintshe ukugxila kwayo kwamanye amadivaysi, futhi izinombolo zokuthengisa zama-iPhones nama-iPads zifakazela ukuthi yenze kahle. Ukube i-iPhone bekuyinkampani ezimele yodwa, ibingahlasela izinkampani eziphezulu ezingamashumi amabili ezinokuthengiswa okuphezulu kakhulu ohlwini lwe-Fortune 500. Futhi yi-iPhone esusa amakhasimende angaba khona kuma-iPod ngokwezinga elingenakuphikwa. Ngaphandle kokuba iselula nokuxhumana nge-inthanethi, i-iPhone iphinde ibe yi-iPod - njengoba uSteve Jobs asho ngesikhathi yethulwa - futhi bayancipha abasebenzisi abafuna ukuba ne-iPod ephaketheni labo ngaphandle kwe-iPhone.
Ngakho-ke i-Apple ibhekene nombuzo obonakala uyinkimbinkimbi: kuthiwani ngama-iPod? Kodwa kubukeka sengathi bazoyixazulula kahle kakhulu eCupertino. Kunezimo ezintathu: ukwethula izinguqulo ezintsha nethemba lokuthengisa okuphezulu, ukusika yonke ingxenye ye-iPod ngokuhle, noma uvumele izizukulwane ezindala ziphile inqobo nje uma ziletha inzuzo, futhi kuphela lapho zingasasebenzi ngokuphelele, ziyeke ukuzithengisa. . Ngonyaka odlule nengxenye, i-Apple ibizilolongela ngokuphelele isimo sokugcina esishiwo, futhi kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi, ngokusho kwayo, izohola impilo yama-iPod kuze kube sekupheleni.
Nakuba izenzo ze-Apple zivame ukuhluka kulokho ebesikulindele ezinkampanini ezinkulu, akulindelekile ukuthi i-Apple iziphikise futhi iqede umkhiqizo osawenza ube yimali ehloniphekile, ngisho noma kuyiphesenti elilodwa kuphela esimweni sayo yonke into. imali engenayo. Ngakho-ke, i-Apple ayinaso isizathu sokubhala i-epitaph kuma-iPod kusuka kuleli phuzu lokubuka. Nokho, ngesikhathi esifanayo, akuseyona into engokoqobo ukugwema ukuwa okuqinile ezindabeni. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokumvimba kungaba ukwethula ama-iPod amasha, kodwa ingabe ukhona omunye onentshisekelo?
Kunzima ukucabanga isici esingabuyisela ama-iPod enkazimulweni yawo yangaphambili. Ngamafuphi, amadivayisi enhloso eyodwa awasekho "ngaphakathi", ama-smartphone namathebulethi manje angenza yonke into eyake yenziwa ama-iPod nokunye okuningi. Inzuzo enkulu ukuxhumana kweselula, okuzuze ukubaluleka okukhulu emhlabeni wanamuhla womculo. Izinsizakalo zokusakaza ezifana ne-Spotify, Pandora ne-Rdio zithola i-boom enkulu, enikeza noma yimuphi umculo kubasebenzisi nge-inthanethi ngemali encane noma enkulu, futhi i-iTunes nayo isiqala ukukhokhela lo mkhuba. Inhlanganisela eyake yaba namandla ngokwedlulele ye-iPod + iTunes ayisasebenzi, ngakho-ke ukuqanjwa kabusha okudingekayo kuma-iPod kuzofanela kube ukuxhumana kweselula nokuxhumeka ezinsizeni zokusakaza. Kodwa noma kunjalo, umbuzo usamile ukuthi ngabe ukhona yini osazoba nentshisekelo kumkhiqizo onjalo uma kunenqwaba yabanye ongashayela nabo, ubhale i-imeyili, udlale umdlalo, futhi ekugcineni ungabi nawo. ukuchitha lokho okuningi kakhulu kudivayisi.
Kubonakala sengathi i-Apple iyazi ukuthi ngeke isakwazi ukwenza okuningi ngama-iPod. Cishe iminyaka emibili yokuthula kuwubufakazi obucacile balokhu, futhi kungaba isimanga esikhulu uma sithola ama-iPod amasha kulo nyaka - lapho uTim Cook ekugcineni ezokwethula umkhiqizo walokho okubizwa ngokuthi "isigaba esisha". Ngempela, ngisho naleyo divayisi evela "esigabeni esisha" ingasebenzisana kahle nama-iPod, kodwa okwamanje yi-Apple kuphela eyazi ukuthi lokho kuzoba njalo yini. Iqiniso liwukuthi akubalulekile kakhulu. Ukuphela kwama-iPod kuseduze ngokungenakuvinjelwa. Amakhasimende awasawafuni, futhi lapho izigidi ezintathu zokugcina nawo zingawafuni, azohamba. Ngokuthula nangomuzwa womsebenzi owenziwe kahle. I-Apple inezinto eziningi ezinhle ezizothatha indawo yazo, okungenani ngokwenzuzo.
Sicela futhi inguqulo entsha yakudala enesixhumi sombani nengemuva elingapholishiwe... okuwukuphela kwe-iPod i-Apple engayivuseleli, okuyihlazo.
Futhi nge-wi-fi! At ingasetshenziselwa Air play
Impela, ukuthengiswa kwama-iPod kuyehla uma ukuthintwa sekune-HW yeminyaka emi-3 uma kuqhathaniswa ne-iPhone, i-nano inomklamo omubi one-GUI embi nakakhulu, futhi eyakudala ayizange ibuyekezwe eminyakeni engu-5.
Akukho esingabuyekeza kokwakudala, sinambalwa ekhaya / izizukulwane ezi-2 zokugcina/ futhi ifanele wonke umuntu. Into nje ukuthi uma ngiqala ukumosha futhi ngiyeke ukukhiqiza ... kuyoba kubi. Kodwa nokho umdlali ongcono kakhulu wokuhamba ngezinyawo noma emotweni noma kuphi
kukhona okwanele ukubuyekeza ku-classic! Mina ngokwami ngivele ngiphethe i-iPod Classic yesihlanu futhi ngingathanda ukubona ukuthuthuka okufana: isixhumi esikhanyayo (ngenxa yezesekeli), i-bluetooth noma i-airplay (njengoba usho umdlali ongcono kakhulu emotweni futhi ngingathanda ukuyisebenzisa ngaphandle kwentambo futhi ngingasebenzisa i-iPhone) futhi okokugcina kodwa okungenani ibhethri (yize isivele yinhle).
