Adam Kos NgoFebhuwari wonyaka odlule, isikhulu esiphezulu sakwa-Apple, uTim Cook, watshela abanikazi bamasheya bale nkampani ukuthi isithenge izinkampani ezibalelwa ku-100 kule minyaka eyisithupha edlule. Lokho kusho ukuthi wenza ukuthenga okusha njalo emavikini amathathu kuya kwamane. Kungenzeka yini ukwahlulela kulawa madili ukuthi inkampani izokwethula ini njengamanoveli esikhathini esizayo?
Lezi zinombolo zingase zinikeze umbono wokuthi lona umshini wokuthenga wenkampani. Kodwa-ke, yingcosana kuphela yalokhu kuthenga okwakufanele ukunakwa kakhulu ngabezindaba. Isivumelwano esikhulu kunazo zonke kusewukuthengwa kweBeats Music ngo-2014, lapho i-Apple ikhokhele u-$3 billion. Phakathi kokugcina okukhulu, ngokwesibonelo, ukuthengwa kwesigaba se-Intel esibhekene nama-chips omakhalekhukhwini, lapho i-Apple yakhokha amadola ayizigidi eziyinkulungwane ngo-2019, noma ukuthengwa kweShazam ngo-2018 ngama- $ 400 wezigidi.
Ikhasi lesiNgisi liyathakazelisa nakanjani I-Wikipedia, ephathelene nokutholwa kwe-Apple ngakunye, futhi ezama ukukufaka konke. Uzothola lapha ukuthi, ngokwesibonelo, ngo-1997, i-Apple yathenga inkampani i-NeXT ngamadola ayizigidi ezingu-404. Kodwa-ke, into ethakazelisa kakhulu ulwazi olunembile lokuthi kungani i-Apple ithenge inkampani enikeziwe nokuthi ikwenzele miphi imikhiqizo namasevisi.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
VR, AR, Apple Car
NgoMeyi 2020, inkampani yathenga i-NextVR ekhuluma ngokoqobo, ngo-Agasti 20 yalandela i-Camerai egxile ku-AR kwathi ezinsukwini ezinhlanu kamuva yalandela i-Spaces, ukuqaliswa kwe-VR. Kodwa-ke, ku-ARKit, i-Apple ithenga kaningi (i-Vrvana, i-SensoMotoric Instruments, i-Lattice Data, i-Flyby Media), ngakho-ke kuyangabazeka ukuthi lezi zinkampani zisebenzisana nomkhiqizo omusha noma zithuthukisa izici ezikhona zesikhulumi sabo. Asinawo umkhiqizo oqediwe osesimweni sezingilazi noma ihedisethi, ngakho-ke singaqagela kuphela.

Kunjalo nangesivumelwano sika-Drive.ai sika-2019 sezimoto ezizimele. Asinalo ngisho uhlobo lwe-Apple Car lapha, futhi lokhu kungalandelelwa emuva kokuthi u-Apple wayesevele ethengela iphrojekthi ye-Titan, njengoba ibizwa kanjalo, ngo-2016 (Indoor.io). Ngeke kushiwo ngokuqiniseka ukuthi i-Apple izothenga inkampani ephethe ingxenye ethile futhi kungakapheli unyaka nosuku yethule umkhiqizo omusha noma ithuthukise kakhulu osuvele ukhona. Noma kunjalo, kuyacaca ukuthi konke "ukuthengwa" okwenziwe kunencazelo yako.

Ngokusho kohlu lwezinkampani, kungabonakala ukuthi i-Apple izama ukuthenga labo abanentshisekelo ku-intelligence yokufakelwa (Core AI, Voysis, Xnor.ai), noma kumculo nama-podcasts (Promephonic, Scout FM, Asaii). Esokuqala esishiwo cishe sesivele senziwe kuma-iPhones ngandlela thize, kanti okwesibili cishe akusona isisekelo sezindaba ku-Apple Music kuphela, njengekhwalithi yokulalela engalahleki, njll., kodwa futhi nokunwetshwa kohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Podcasts.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Elinye isu
Kepha uma kukhulunywa ngokuthenga izinkampani, i-Apple inesu elihlukile kuneningi lezimbangi zayo ezinkulu. Bavamise ukuvala amadili ezigidigidi zamadola, kuyilapho i-Apple ithengela izinkampani ezincane ikakhulukazi izisebenzi zabo zezobuchwepheshe ezinekhono, ezibe sezizihlanganisa neqembu layo. Ngenxa yalokhu, ingasheshisa ukwanda esigabeni lapho inkampani ethengiwe iwela khona.

U-Tim Cook kunhlolokhono ye I-CNBC ngo-2019 wathi indlela ekahle ye-Apple ukuthola ukuthi inezinkinga zobuchwepheshe kuphi bese uthenga izinkampani ezizozixazulula. Isibonelo esisodwa kuthiwa ukutholwa kwe-AuthenTec ngo-2012, okwaholela ekuhanjisweni ngempumelelo kwe-Touch ID kuma-iPhone.
