Amaya Toman Yize i-Apple ingahlanganyeli embukisweni waminyaka yonke wezohwebo nge-elekthronikhi yabathengi i-CES 2019, ihlotshaniswa nomcimbi ngandlela thize. Kulo nyaka, kulo mongo, kugqame kakhulu i-AirPlay 2 kanye neplatifomu ye-HomeKit, lapho izinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo ekhulayo evela ezinkampanini ezahlukahlukene zihambisana khona.
Uma sihlala nama-smart TV aseshiwo, izinkampani ezifana ne-Sony, LG, Vizio kanye ne-Samsung zijoyine umndeni wakwa-HomeKit kulo nyaka. Emkhakheni wemikhiqizo yasekhaya ehlakaniphile, kwakuyi-IKEA noma i-GE. Phakathi kwabakhiqizi bezesekeli zamadivayisi ahlakaniphile, singabala i-Belkin ne-TP-Link. Bayanda abakhiqizi abavumela ukuhlanganiswa kwemikhiqizo yabo kuplathifomu ye-HomeKit. Futhi yi-HomeKit eyenza i-Apple ibe ngumdlali oqinile emkhakheni wasekhaya ohlakaniphile. Kepha ukuthola amaphuzu ngempela, kudinga into eyodwa ebalulekile - uSiri. I-Siri esebenzayo, ethembekile, enokuncintisana.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
UDan Pražák Isibonelo, isokhethi ye-Wi-Fi ehlakaniphile ethengekayo i-Kasa evela ku-TP-Link manje inikeza ukuhlanganiswa kwe-HomeKit. Lapho uhlelo lokusebenza olufanele lukhishwa, abasebenzisi bangahlola ukulawula kwalo nge-iPhone kanye nohlelo lokusebenza lwasekhaya. Ezinsukwini zokuqala ze-HomeKit, abanikazi bokukhanyisa okuhlakaniphile okushibhile nezinye izinto zikagesi ezihlakaniphile zasekhaya babengenalo nhlobo ithuba lokusebenzisa ngokugcwele le nkundla. Kodwa manje sekucacile ukuthi akubona abasebenzisi kuphela kodwa futhi i-Apple ngokwayo inesithakazelo ekwandiseni okukhulu kakhulu okungenzeka.
MacWorld ngokufanele waphawula, ukuthi uSiri umele ibhuleki elithile. I-Google iziqhayise kuleli sonto ngokuthi uMsizi wayo utholakala kumadivayisi angaphezu kwesigidigidi emhlabeni jikelele, i-Amazon ikhuluma ngamadivayisi ayizigidi eziyikhulu ane-Alexa. I-Apple ayizange ijoyine izitatimende zomphakathi kuleli cala, kodwa ngokusho kwezilinganiso zabahleli be-MacWorld, kungase kufane ne-Google. I-Siri ingaba yingxenye yenombolo enkulu yemishini kagesi kanye ne-HomeKit, kodwa ezimweni eziningi ingahlala ingasetshenziswa buthule. Kusashoda ngaye ukuze aphelele.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi umsebenzi i-Apple ewenzayo ukuyithuthukisa kuyaziwa. I-Siri isiye yashesha, inemisebenzi eminingi futhi yakwazi ukusebenza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Nokho, ayizange ithole ukuthandwa okukhulu phakathi kwabasebenzisi. Bobabili i-Alexa ne-Google Assistant bayakwazi ukwenza izilungiselelo eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kune-Siri, ngakho-ke baziwa kakhulu emkhakheni wokulawula izwi wamakhaya ahlakaniphile. Naphezu (noma mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi) uSiri "mdala" kunabanye abancintisana nabo, kungase kubonakale sengathi i-Apple iphumula kulokhu.
Umsizi obonakalayo onikwe amandla ubuhlakani bokwenziwa kufanele akwazi ukwenza okungaphezu nje kokukhuluma. Umhleli we-MacWorld uMichael Simon uveza ukuthi nakuba uMsizi we-Google ekwazi ukuphendula ucingo futhi i-Alexa yase-Amazon ingatshela indodana yakhe encane ukuthi ilale kahle futhi icishe izibani, uSiri akalungile ngokwanele ukwenza le misebenzi futhi ungaphezu kwamandla akhe. Esinye sezithiyo ukuvalwa okuthile kwezinhlelo zezinkampani zangaphandle noma ukusekelwa kwemodi yabasebenzisi abaningi. Kodwa akukephuzi kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple yaduma ngokuthi nakuba iqhamuke nenani lokuthuthuka ngemva kokuba umncintiswano wethule, isisombululo sayo sasivame ukuba yinkimbinkimbi. USiri unendlela ende okufanele ayihambe. Ake simangale uma i-Apple ifuna.
