Ondrej Holzman Yize abakwaSamsung, njengembangi enkulu ye-Apple emakethe yama-smartphone, sekunesikhathi eside behlinzeka ngokushaja okungenantambo kumafoni abo, umenzi we-iPhone usabambezela ukuqaliswa kwalo msebenzi. Ezilabhoratri zakhe, nokho, ngokusobala usebenza ezixazululweni zakhe nochwepheshe abaningi.
Umagazini I-Verge si uqaphele, ukuthi i-Apple ezinyangeni zamuva iqashe u-Jonathan Bolus no-Andrew Joyce, abake basebenza e-uBeam, ukuqalisa okungenantambo. Ikakhulukazi, kwa-uBeam, bazamile ukuguqula amaza e-ultrasonic abe ugesi ukuze bakwazi ukushaja ogesi bekude.
Kodwa-ke, ukuthi i-uBeam ingakwazi ngempela ukwenza into efana nalena futhi iyenze ibe ngokoqobo kusangabazeka, futhi ukuqalisa ngokuvamile kubhekene nezinkinga eziningi, ngokuvamile ezibangelwa amaphutha ako, njengoba uyachaza engosini yakhe owayeyi-VP yezobunjiniyela uPaul Reynolds.
Onjiniyela abaningi sebevele bayishiyile iBeam ngoba bayekile ukukholelwa ekusetshenzisweni kwawo wonke umqondo, futhi abaningi babo sebeyitholile indlela eya ku-Apple. Ngaphezu kokuqiniswa okubili okukhulunywe ngenhla, inkampani yaseCalifornian iqashe ochwepheshe abangaphezu kweshumi emkhakheni wokushaja okungenantambo kanye nobuchwepheshe be-ultrasound eminyakeni emibili edlule.
Kumele kwengezwe ukuthi akumangazi uma i-Apple ithuthukisa ukushaja okungenantambo. NgoJanuwari, kwabikwa ukuthi uTim Cook et al. abeneme ngesimo samanje sokushaja okungenantambo futhi bangathanda ukushaja ama-iPhone bekude, hhayi nje ngokuthintana ngqo nesiteshi sokushaja. Kulo mongo, ngakho-ke kunenkulumo yokuthi ukushaja okungenantambo ngeke kuze kulungiselelwe i-iPhone 7 yalo nyaka.
I-Apple ifuna ubuchwepheshe buthuthuke ngokwanele ukuthi ube ne-iPhone yakho ephaketheni lakho ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhamba kanjani ekamelweni, idivayisi izobe ishaja sonke isikhathi. Phela, i-Apple isivele ibonise indlela efanayo kwamanye amalungelo ayo amadala, lapho ikhompuyutha yayisebenza njengesiteshi sokushaja. Konke kufanele kusebenze ngesisekelo salokho okubizwa nge-near-field magnetic resonance, okuwumehluko kusixazululo se-uBeam, esasifuna ukusebenzisa amagagasi e-ultrasound.
Kunezinketho ezimbalwa zokuthola ukushaja okungenantambo ukude, kodwa kuze kube manje akekho okwazile ukuziletha emakethe ngemikhiqizo yangempela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ochwepheshe abaqashiwe kulo mkhakha kwa-Apple abasebenzi ekushajeni okungenantambo okude, njengoba ukugxila kwabo kunikeza umsebenzi wokushaja okungenayo i-Apple Watch noma kuma-haptics kanye nezinzwa zewashi.
Kodwa-ke, asikho isizathu sokungacabangi ukuthi i-Apple icwaninga nokushaja okungenantambo okukude, njengoba abasebenzisi bebelokhu bebiza lesi sici (hhayi ukude) isikhathi eside. Futhi futhi ucabangela umncintiswano, ukucebisa enye yama-iPhones alandelayo ngalo msebenzi kubonakala kuyisinyathelo esinengqondo.
Ngiyawuqonda umzamo wabo. Lokho umncintiswano onakho akulethi lutho. Kusafanele ngisibeke kokuthile lapho kutholakala khona indawo yokuphuma. Ngizofaka ikhebula futhi. Uma ingaxhunywanga futhi hhayi nje "ingenantambo" kuzoba nengqondo.
ngeshwa, ukushaja okungenantambo akuthembekile futhi ngaphandle kwalokho kuhamba kancane ngendlela emangalisayo, ingabe i-Apple ingathanda ukwakha i-iPhone ezishaja yona? Ngingathanda ukungeniswa njengenkokhiso eyinhloko.
