Jakub Karnik I-Apple idume ngokubeka ama-margin amakhulu emikhiqizweni yayo. Kodwa-ke, intatheli uJohn Gruber manje useveze ukuthi lokhu akumele kube njalo ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ikakhulukazi esimweni se-Apple TV ne-HomePod, amanani abekwe phansi kangangokuthi i-Apple empeleni ayizuzi lutho kunoma yimuphi wale mikhiqizo eshiwo, ngokuphambene nalokho, ilahlekelwa yinkampani.
UGruber ungomunye wezintatheli ezinolwazi kakhulu nge-Apple nemikhiqizo yayo. Isibonelo, ama-AirPods adlale ezindlebeni zakhe amasonto ambalwa ngaphambi kokwethulwa ngokusemthethweni. Ube esehlanganyela lonke ulwazi lwakhe kubhulogi yakhe I-DaringFireball. Esiqeshini sakamuva se-podcast yakhe Umbukiso Wenkulumo khona-ke intatheli yembula ulwazi oluthakazelisayo mayelana namanani entengo ye-Apple TV ne-HomePod.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
David Hanak NgokukaGruber, i-Apple TV 4K ithengiswa ngentengo eyanele. Ngama-dollar angu-180, uzothola idivayisi eneprosesa ye-Apple A10, etholakala futhi kuma-iPhones wonyaka odlule, futhi ngaleyo ndlela izoshintsha umsebenzi wesikhungo se-multimedia kuphela, kodwa futhi ne-console yegeyimu. Kodwa leyo $180 futhi iyizindleko zokukhiqiza i-Apple TV, okusho ukuthi inkampani yaseCalifornia iyithengisa ngaphandle kwemajini.
Kuyenzeka isimo esifanayo nge-HomePod. Ngokusho kukaGruber, ithengiswa ngisho nangaphansi kwenani lezindleko, okuthi, ngaphezu kokukhiqizwa ngokwako, kufaka phakathi ukuthuthukiswa noma ukuhlelwa kwesofthiwe ethile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, akaqondi ukuthi kungani i-HomePod ibiza kakhulu kunezinye izikhulumi ezihlakaniphile. Noma kunjalo, uGruber ukholelwa ukuthi i-Apple ithengisa isipikha sayo ngokulahlekelwa. Ngokwezilinganiso zokuqala, ukukhiqizwa kwe-HomePod kubiza cishe ama-dollar angu-216, kodwa lokhu kuyisamba samanani ezinto ezingazodwana futhi akunaki ezinye, izici ezishiwo kakade ezikhuphula intengo.
Igalari yezithombe
Ukuqagela kuze kwaphakamisa ukuthi i-Apple isebenza ezinhlobonhlobo ezishibhile zawo womabili la madivayisi. I-Apple TV eshibhile kufanele ibe nobukhulu obufanayo, ngokwesibonelo, i-Amazon Fire Stick, kanye ne-HomePod kufanele ibe yincane futhi kufanele ibe namandla amancane.
UGruber uphinde waphawula ukuthi akanaso isiqiniseko ngenani lama-AirPods. Akakwazi ukuqagela ukuthi zibiza kakhulu futhi akakwazi ukukufakazela nganoma iyiphi indlela. Kodwa uyanezela ukuthi izinto ezinde ekukhiqizeni, ezishibhile ezikhiqizwayo, njengoba izindleko zezingxenye zomuntu ngamunye ziwa. Ngokusho kwentatheli, eminye imikhiqizo ayibizi futhi, ngoba i-Apple ivele ithuthukise amadivaysi ahlukile afakazela intengo yawo.
Yebo, ngoba ukunwetshwa okulandelayo kwephothifoliyo yomkhiqizo osekuvele kungaphansi kwenani yikho kanye okudingwa yi-Apple, akunjalo. Njengangemuva kuka-r85, amafu emikhiqizo engenawo umbono ocacile.
