Filip Brož Uke wazama ukubuza abantu ukuthi iyiphi insiza eyaba ithikithi labo emhlabeni we-Apple? Mina izikhathi eziningi futhi kuyihlazo ukuthi angiwenzanga amakhoma. Ngaphambi kokuthi i-iPhone ifike, kwakusobala ukuthi i-iPod yohlobo oluthile. Lesi sakamuva sabhekana nenkathi enkulu kunazo zonke ngo-2008, lapho amayunithi angaphansi kwezigidi ezingu-55 adayiswa emhlabeni wonke. Kodwa-ke, intshisekelo ibilokhu yehla kusukela lapho, futhi u-Apple akakaze akhiphe izinombolo kusukela ngo-2015.
Ngakho okungenakugwemeka kwenzeke ngesonto eledlule. I-Apple ikhiphe amadivaysi amabili kuphothifoliyo yayo - i-iPod Shuffle ne-iPod Nano. Owokugcina owasinda emndenini we-iPod yiTouch, ethole ukuthuthukiswa okuncane.
Mina ngokwami ngisebenzise womabili ama-iPod okukhulunywe ngawo, futhi ngisenayo isizukulwane sakamuva seNano eqoqweni lami. Ngaphakathi nokho, ngithanda i-iPod Classic, okuyinto i-Apple esusiwe kakade ngo-2014. I-Classic iyingxenye ye-legend futhi isibonelo angimangazi neze ukuthi idlala indima ebalulekile ku-movie entsha. Baby Driver. Kodwa ake sibuyele kwabashonile ngesonto eledlule.
I-iPod Shuffle ibe ngomunye wabadlali abancane abavela emndenini we-iPod kusukela yasungulwa futhi yaba ngeyokuqala ukusebenzisa imemori ye-flash ekusebenzeni. Imodeli yokuqala ethi Shuffle yethulwa nguSteve Jobs ngoJanuwari 11, 2005 eMacworld Expo. Inguqulo ye-Nano yalandela ngoSepthemba wonyaka ofanayo. Ngaleyo minyaka, i-iPhone yayikhona ephepheni kuphela nasemakhanda abadali bayo, ngakho-ke ama-iPod adlala iligi eyengeziwe. Womabili amamodeli akhuphule kakhulu ukuthengiswa okuphelele futhi afinyelela amakhasimende amasha.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, eminyakeni yamuva nje, akekho kubo othole ukuthuthukiswa noma okungenani isibuyekezo esincane. Isizukulwane sokugcina se-iPod Shuffle sabona ukukhanya kosuku ngoSepthemba 2010. Ngokuphambene nalokho, imodeli yokugcina ye-iPod Nano yakhululwa ngo-2012. Njengoba nje ngeluleke ekuqaleni ukuthi ama-iPod asephenduke isango le-Apple ecosystem. abantu abaningi, zama ukubuza omunye umbuzo wesibili. Ungathenga i-iPod Shuffle noma i-Nano ngo-2017? Futhi kungani, uma kunjalo?
Idivayisi encane yayo yonke iphakethe
I-iPod Shuffle ibiphakathi kwama-iPod amancane kunawo wonke. Emzimbeni wayo uzothola isondo lokulawula kuphela. Asikho isibonisi. Inkampani yaseCalifornian ikhiphe isamba sezizukulwane ezine zalo mfana omncane. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi umthamo awukaze udlule u-4 GB. Isizukulwane sakamuva, esingasatholakala kwezinye izitolo, sinememori engu-2 GB kuphela. Ungakhetha phakathi kwemibala emihlanu.
I-Shuffle encane ibilokhu ingumngane wami omuhle phakathi nemidlalo. Akumina kuphela, kodwa nabanye abasebenzisi abaningi bathande isiqeshana esisebenzayo, ngenxa yokuthi i-Shuffle ingaxhunywa cishe noma yikuphi emzimbeni. I-Klipsna ibitholakala kuphela esizukulwaneni sesibili. I-Shuffle inesisindo esingamagremu angu-12,5 kuphela futhi ayingeni endleleni noma kuphi. Impela isazothola indawo yabaningi, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye manje singathola ukufana okuningi ne-Apple Watch. Idivayisi encane engadlala umculo.
Ngigqoka i-Apple Watch yami kusukela ekuseni kuze kube sebusuku, kodwa kunezikhathi lapho ngisakhetha ukuyikhumula. Ngaphandle kokuhlala ekhaya, lokhu ikakhulukazi ezimweni ezinzima ngokomzimba, isibonelo lapho ngihamba noma lapho ngigcina ukupenda ifulethi futhi ngibeka phansi. Nakuba nginokholo lokuthi i-Watch izosinda, ngezinye izikhathi ngingakhetha ukunamathisela i-iPod Shuffle ephaketheni lami, ngifake ama-headphone, futhi ngithule. Kodwa kuyacaca ukuthi i-Watch isivele kwenye indawo.
I-iPod encane ilungele indawo yokuzivocavoca noma ezemidlalo nje jikelele, lapho othile efuna ukulalela umculo futhi engadingi ukuthenga iwashi elihlakaniphile ngaso leso sikhathi. Angisho ukuthi i-Shuffle iyithuluzi lansuku zonke, kodwa ngingayisebenzisa lapha nalaphaya. Ngiyazisola ngokuyithengisa eminyakeni edlule futhi ngicabanga ukuya esitolo ngiyothenga enye ngaphambi kokuthi iphele emashalofini.
Uma usocingweni, mhlawumbe inothi eyisihluthulelo kaJanuwari 2005 lapho i-iPod Shuffle yethula uSteve Jobs njengenye Into Ezokukhuthaza. Angazi ngawe, kodwa kuseyisenzakalo esithinta inhliziyo kimi.

Ukuze uthole abalaleli abafuna kakhulu
Njengoba ngishilo, kungekudala ngemuva kweShuffle, u-Apple wethula inguqulo yeNano. Iqhubekile nomqondo we-iPod Mini, owawudume kakhulu kubantu. Ngokungafani ne-Shuffle, i-Nano yayinombukiso kusukela ekuqaleni futhi isizukulwane sokuqala sakhiqizwa ngomthamo wegigabytes eyodwa, ezimbili nezine. Kwakukhona inguqulo emnyama nemhlophe kuphela. Eminye imibala ayizange ivele kwaze kwaba sesizukulwaneni sesibili. Isizukulwane sesithathu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, sasifana kakhulu ne-Classic, kodwa ngezilinganiso ezincane kanye nomthamo ophansi - kuphela i-4 GB ne-8 GB.
Esizukulwaneni sesine, i-Apple ibuyele ekumeni kwesithombe sokuqala. Mhlawumbe okwakuthakazelisa kakhulu kwakuyisizukulwane sesi-5, esasifakwe ikhamera yevidiyo ngemuva. Ngokuxakayo, kwakungenakwenzeka ukuthatha izithombe zakudala. Umsakazo we-FM nawo ubuyinto entsha. Isizukulwane sesithupha sabe sesibonakala siphuma esweni le-Apple Watch. Ngaphezu kokuba nesikrini esithintwayo, kuvele izinsiza eziningi zezinkampani zangaphandle ku-inthanethi ezivumela le-iPod ukuthi ixhunywe ebhandeni futhi isetshenziswe njengewashi.
Esizukulwaneni sesithupha, i-Click Wheel nekhamera nazo zanyamalala. Ngokuphambene nalokho, isiqeshana esisebenzayo sengeziwe ngemuva, kulandelwa isibonelo se-Shuffle. Isizukulwane sesikhombisa sakamuva sethulwa ngo-2012. Isivele iseduze ne-iPod Touch mayelana nokulawula nokusetshenziswa. Ngisengumnikazi wale modeli futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi uma ngiyivula, ngicabanga nge-iOS 6. Ihambisana kahle kakhulu nesakhiwo. Inkumbulo ye-retro njengoba kufanele.
Abantu abaningi bathi uma isizukulwane sakamuva se-iPod Nano sinokuxhunywa kwe-Wi-Fi futhi singasebenza ne-iTunes Match, ukusetshenziswa kwabo kungaba kukhulu kakhulu. I-iPod Nano, njenge-Shuffle, yayithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabasubathi. Ungasebenzisa ngokwendabuko, isibonelo, uhlelo lokusebenza oluvela kwa-Nike+ noma i-VoiceOver.
Ukubhubha komndeni we-iPod
Kunento eyodwa okumele uyiqaphele. Ama-iPod adonse i-Apple ngokoqobo nangokomfanekiso kusukela phansi ekujuleni kuya ekukhanyeni, ikakhulukazi ngokwezimali. Kafushane, ama-iPod anikeze inkampani yaseCalifornia amandla eyayiwadinga. Ukuphumelela okuncane kwaba ukukhanyiseleka kanye nenguquko ephelele emculweni nasendimeni yedijithali. Owayegqoka ama-headphone amhlophe kanye ne-iPod ephaketheni labo esikhathini esidlule kwaba cool.
Abantu basika ama-iPod Shuffle abo kumakholola amahembe abo nezikibha, ukuze nje kucace ukuthi iyiphi imidiya ababeyilalele. Ngaphandle kwe-iPod, ibingeke ibe khona i-iPhone, njengoba incwadi kaBrian Merchant yakamuva ibonisa kahle Idivayisi Eyodwa: Umlando Oyimfihlo we-iPhone.
Umndeni ugcinwe untanta kanti i-ayina yokugcina emlilweni yi-iPod Touch kuphela. Kungalindelekile ithole ukuthuthukiswa okuncane ngesonto eledlule, okuwukuphinda kabili indawo yokugcina. Ungakhetha emibaleni eyisithupha, okuhlanganisa i-RED edition, namandla we-32 GB kanye no-128 GB, emiqhele eyi-6 kanye nemiqhele engu-090, ngokulandelanayo.
Ngeshwa, angicabangi ukuthi kuzohlala isikhathi eside, futhi eminyakeni emibili kuya kwemithathu ngizobe ngibhala isihloko sokuthi inkathi ye-iPod isiphelile. I-iPod Touch ayiyona into engapheli, futhi kuyindaba yesikhathi kuphela ngaphambi kokuthi abasebenzisi balahlekelwe yintshisekelo kuyo njengoba ingaphezulu noma ngaphansi kwe-smartphone eyisimungulu.
Kimina, ukungena emhlabeni we-Apple kwaba i-iPod Touch yokugcina esele. Kwakungesikhathi se-iPhones ekhona kakade (ngicabanga ukuthi i-4 yakhululwa ngaleso sikhathi?) Futhi njengoba ngingumfundi ongenayo imali eningi, ngakhetha le nketho (ngaphezu kwalokho, ethengwe nge-aukro). Nokho, okuxakayo, okwamanje nginezinhlobo ze-Shuffle kanye ne-Classic iPod ekhaya. I-Classic yayiyiphupho lami isikhathi eside, futhi lapho iphelelwa ukuthengiswa kungazelelwe ngaphandle kwegama elilodwa, ukusesha okude ezimakethe kwaqala kwaze kwabambeka. Ngisebenzisa i-Shuflle njengoba kubhaliwe ngenhla kwezemidlalo. Angithandi ukusebenzisa iselula (ngaphezu kwalokho, nginolwazi ngewashi) futhi angifuni ukuklebhula umculo ewashini lami futhi ngithenge ama-headphone angenantambo, futhi i-Shuffle ingisiza kahle :)
