UMikhal Marek Ukuze uthole izinombolo ezithakazelisayo kanye nokuqonda engqungqutheleni Inkomfa Yomhlaba Yezincwadi Zedijithali wabelane no-Keith Moerer, inhloko yophiko lwe-iBooks yakwa-Apple. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, le ndoda yaqhosha ngokuthi i-iBooks isizuze amakhasimende amasha angaba yisigidi isonto ngalinye kusukela kwakhululwa i-iOS 8. Lokhu kubangelwa ikakhulukazi ukuthi enguqulweni yakamuva ye-iOS, i-Apple ihlinzeka ngohlelo lwe-iBooks olufakwe ngaphambili ohlelweni.
Isinqumo sika-Apple sokuthumela i-iOS 8 ngama-iBooks nama-Podcasts afakwe ngaphambili sasiyimpikiswano. Abasebenzisi abaningi ngeke basebenzise lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza ezimbili, kodwa abagunyaziwe ukuzisusa. Ngakho-ke bangena endleleni kudeskithophu futhi ngaphezu kwalokho baphinde bathathe isikhala kumemori yefoni.
Kodwa-ke, ukuba khona kwama-iBooks nama-Podcasts ngqo ku-iOS nakho kunezinzuzo, nakuba kunjalo kakhulu ku-Apple ngokwayo kunamakhasimende. Abasebenzisi abaningi abanolwazi oluncane ngaphambilini bebengazi ngobukhona balezi zinhlelo zokusebenza. Umuntu bekufanele avule Isitolo Sohlelo Lokusebenza, athole ngokukhethekile ama-iBooks noma ama-Podcasts futhi awalande ocingweni. Manje umsebenzisi uhlangabezana nalezi zinhlelo zokusebenza ezimbili willy-nilly futhi ngokuvamile avula futhi okungenani azihlole. Ngakho-ke kunethuba elikhulu kakhulu lokuthi bazohlangana nokuqukethwe okuthakazelisayo futhi bakuthenge.
Endabeni yama-iBooks, i-Apple iphinde yazuza inzuzo ngaphezu komncintiswano. Uhlelo lokusebenza olufakwe ngaphambilini luhlala luyisiqalo esingcono kakhulu kunezinye izindlela zezinkampani zangaphandle okufanele zifakwe esitolo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunokuncintisana okuningi phakathi kwe-e-books. I-Amazon inomfundi wayo we-Kindle ku-App Store, i-Google ine-Google Play Books yayo, futhi emazweni amaningi ezinye izindlela zasendaweni ziphumelela ngokuqhathaniswa (isb. Wooky ezweni lakithi).
Ngokuka-Moerer, ukusungulwa kwakamuva nakho kube nomthelela ekudumeni kwama-iBooks Ukwabelana komndeni ehlotshaniswa ne-iOS 8. Lokhu kuvumela umndeni ukuthi wabelane ngokuqukethwe okuthengiwe – okuhlanganisa nezincwadi. Uma noma yiliphi ilungu lomndeni lithenga incwadi, abanye bangakwazi futhi ukulanda futhi bayifunde kumadivayisi abo ngaphandle kwezindleko ezengeziwe. Kulokhu, izincwadi ze-electronic ziye zasondelana nezamaphepha, futhi asikho isidingo sokuba “namakhophi” amaningi encwadi efanayo emkhayeni.
Impumelelo yama-iBooks yasizwa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Mac, obe yingxenye engaguquki yohlelo lokusebenza lwekhompyutha ye-Apple kusukela ku-OS X Mavericks. NgokukaMoerer, abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe manje sebefunda izincwadi emafonini abo, i-Apple eyazuza ikakhulukazi ngokukhipha ama-iPhone anosayizi wesikrini omkhulu. Ngobukhulu bayo, i-iPhone 6 Plus iseduze nethebhulethi encane ngakho-ke isivele ingumfundi ohloniphekile.
Engqungqutheleni, u-Moerer wagqamisa ukuzibophezela kwe-Apple ekusebenzisaneni nezingcweti zokusungula, okuhlanganisa nababhali, futhi wagcizelela ukuthi ukushicilela okuzimele kungenye yempumelelo enkulu yenkundla ye-iBooks. U-Apple ujabule ngokukhula kokuthengiswa kwezincwadi ngezilimi zakwamanye amazwe, nezincwadi ezibhalwe ngeSpanishi ikakhulukazi ezithokozela ukuchuma okukhulu e-United States. Nokho, ukuthandwa okukhulayo kwama-iBooks eJapan nakho kubalulekile.
Phakathi kokunye, izinkundla ezincintisanayo emkhakheni wokuthengiswa kwezincwadi ze-e-book kuxoxwe ngazo engqungqutheleni. U-Moerer uveze ukuthi i-Apple iyahluka kakhulu ekukhangiseni izincwadi ngaphakathi kwesitolo sayo. Ayikho iphromoshini ekhokhelwayo ku-iBookstore, ngakho wonke umlobi noma umshicileli unethuba elilinganayo lokuphumelela ngencwadi yakhe. Yilokhu i-iBookstore (kanye nazo zonke ezinye izitolo ezingaphakathi kwe-iTunes) eyakhelwe kukho.
Kuhle impela ku-Apple ukuthi yenza kahle ekuthengisweni kwe-e-book, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi lapho ezinye imidiya yedijithali ethengiswa yi-Apple yehla kakhulu. Ukudayiswa komculo akwenzi kahle kangako, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezinsizakalo zokusakaza ezifana ne-Spotify, Rdio noma i-Beats Music, lapho umsebenzisi efinyelela khona umtapo wolwazi womculo omkhulu nokulalela kwawo okungenamkhawulo ngemali encane yanyanga zonke. Ukusatshalaliswa kwamafilimu nochungechunge nakho kushintshe kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva. Isibonelo kungaba iNetflix, edume kakhulu e-USA, okuthi ngokusho kwamahemuhemu nayo ingafika lapha kulo nyaka, noma i-HBO GO.
Nokho, ukulethwa kwe-e-book ngokuqinisekile akuyona inganekwane noma umsebenzi ongenazinkinga we-Apple. Inkampani evela eCupertino bekungunyaka owandulela owedlule utholwe enecala lokukhohlisa amanani ezincwadi futhi wahlawuliswa u-$450 million. Njengengxenye yesigwebo, i-Apple nayo kwadingeka ihambise ekugadweni okuyimpoqo. Nokho, manje izicelo futhi unethuba lokuchitha isinqumo. Okuningi mayelana necala lapha.
Siyabonga ngesihloko esiwusizo. Jen - wooky njengendlela ehlukile yendawo ephumelelayo?? Woza :)
