Ondrej Holzman Lapho nje umuntu ecabanga ukuthi izimpi zezomthetho zelungelo lobunikazi phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Samsung zehla kancane kancane, umuntu wesithathu uyangena ecaleni futhi angase aphinde avuse umlilo. Njengobe bezibiza ngabangani benkantolo izinkampani ezinkulu zaseSilicon Valley eziholwa ngabakwaGoogle, Facebook, Dell kanye noHP seziphawulile ngalo lonke icala ezincike ngasohlangothini lweSamsung.
Izimpi zezomthetho ezithathe isikhathi eside bezilokhu ziqhubeka kusukela ngo-2011, lapho i-Apple imangalela abakwaSamsung ngokwephula amalungelo abo obunikazi nokukopisha izici ezibalulekile ze-iPhone. Lokhu kufaka phakathi amakhona ayindilinga, ukuthinta okuningi, nokunye. Ekugcineni, kube namacala amabili amakhulu futhi inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea yalahlekelwa kuwo womabili, nakuba ayengakaqedwa nakanjani.
Izinkampani ezinkulu zaseSilicon Valley manje sezithumele umyalezo enkantolo ziyicela ukuthi ilihlole kabusha leli cala. Ngokusho kwabo, isinqumo samanje ngokumelene ne-Samsung "singaholela emiphumeleni engenangqondo futhi sibe nomthelela omubi ezinkampanini ezichitha izigidigidi zamaRandi ngonyaka ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe obuyinkimbinkimbi kanye nezingxenye zabo."
I-Google, i-Facebook kanye nabanye baphikisa ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe besimanje buyinkimbinkimbi kangangokuthi kufanele buhlanganiswe nezingxenye eziningi, eziningi zazo ezisetshenziswa ezinhlotsheni ezahlukene zemikhiqizo. Uma noma iyiphi ingxenye enjalo ingaba yisisekelo secala, inkampani ngayinye izobe yephula igunya elithile lobunikazi. Ekugcineni, lokhu kuzonciphisa ukuqanjwa kabusha.
“Leso sici—umphumela wemigqa embalwa ezigidini zemigqa yekhodi—singase sivele esimeni esithile lapho usebenzisa umkhiqizo, esikrinini esisodwa kwezinye ezingamakhulu. Kodwa isinqumo sejaji sizovumela umnikazi welungelo lobunikazi lokuklama ukuthi athole yonke inzuzo ekhiqizwa yilowo mkhiqizo noma inkundla, nakuba ingxenye ephula umthetho ingase ibe yinto engasho lutho kubasebenzisi," kusho iqembu lezinkampani embikweni wabo, elithe. waveza umagazini Imithombo Yangaphakathi.
U-Apple uphendule ucingo lwezinkampani ngokuthi akufanele lucatshangelwe. Ngokusho komkhiqizi we-iPhone, i-Google ikakhulukazi inesithakazelo kakhulu kuleli cala ngenxa yokuthi ingemuva kwesistimu yokusebenza ye-Android, esetshenziswa yi-Samsung, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ayikwazi ukuba "umngane wenkantolo" inhloso.
Kuze kube manje, umnyakazo wokugcina ecaleni elidonse isikhathi eside wenziwe yinkantolo yokudlulisa amacala, eyehlise inhlawulo eyayinikezwe abakwaSamsung ekuqaleni isuka ku-$930 million yaya ku-$548 million. NgoJuni, abakwaSamsung bacele inkantolo ukuthi iguqule isinqumo sayo bese kuthi amajaji angu-12 ahlole icala esikhundleni sephaneli yamalungu amathathu okuqala. Kungenzeka ukuthi ngosizo lwemidondoshiya efana ne-Google, Facebook, HP noDell, izoba namandla amakhulu.
