U-Vratislav Holub U-Apple ubesebenza ekuthuthukiseni imodemu yayo ye-5G yama-iPhones ayo isikhathi eside. Njengamanje, incike kumamodemu ahlinzekwa yinkampani yaseCalifornia i-Qualcomm, engabizwa ngokucacile ngokuthi umholi kulo mkhakha. Abakwa-Qualcomm banikeze lezi zingxenye ku-Apple esikhathini esidlule, futhi babengabalingani bebhizinisi besikhathi eside ababhizinisi labo lalikhula njalo. Kodwa ngemva kwesikhathi esithile baba nezinkinga ezihlobene nezingxabano zelungelo lobunikazi. Lokhu kwaholela ekuhlakazweni kokubambisana kanye nempi yezomthetho ende.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Pavel Jelic Phela, yingakho i-iPhone XS/XR ne-iPhone 11 (Pro) zithembele kuphela kumamodemu e-Intel. Esikhathini esedlule, i-Apple yayibhejela abahlinzeki ababili - i-Qualcomm ne-Intel - ababehlinzeka cishe ngezingxenye ezifanayo, ngokulandelana amamodemu e-4G/LTE ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuxhumana okungenantambo. Ngenxa yezingxabano ezishiwo ngenhla, nokho, umdondoshiya weCupertino kwadingeka ukuthi sithembele kuphela ezingxenyeni ze-Intel ngo-2018 nango-2019. Kodwa ngisho nalokho kwakungelona ikhambi elifaneleka kakhulu. I-Intel ayikwazanga ukuhambisana nezikhathi futhi ayikwazanga ukuthuthukisa imodemu yayo ye-5G, okuphoqe i-Apple ukuthi ixazulule ubudlelwano neQualcomm futhi ishintshele kumamodeli ayo futhi. Nokho, okungenani okwamanje.
I-Apple isebenza ekuthuthukiseni amamodemu ayo e-5G
Namuhla, akuseyona imfihlo ukuthi i-Apple izama ngokuqondile ukuthuthukisa amamodemu ayo e-5G. Ngo-2019, umdondoshiya waze wathenga yonke ingxenye yokuthuthukiswa kwamamodemu kwa-Intel, ngaleyo ndlela ethola amalungelo obunikazi adingekayo, ulwazi kanye nabasebenzi abanolwazi abasebenza ngokukhethekile emkhakheni onikeziwe. Phela, bekulindeleke ukuthi ukufika kwamamodemu e-5G kungathathi isikhathi eside. Ngisho kusukela lapho, imibiko eminingana iye yahamba phakathi komphakathi wakwa-Apple yazisa ngenqubekelaphambili ekuthuthukisweni kanye nokusatshalaliswa okungenzeka kuma-iPhones azayo. Ngeshwa, asizange sithole izindaba.
I-iPhone 12 (2020) ilethe ukwesekwa kwe-5G
Kuyaqala kancane ukukhombisa ukuthi i-Apple, ngakolunye uhlangothi, inezinkinga ezinkulu ngentuthuko. Ekuqaleni, abalandeli babelindele ukuthi umdondoshiya ubhekane nobunzima ngasohlangothini lwentuthuko, lapho isithiyo esikhulu bekuyizobuchwepheshe. Kodwa ukwaziswa kwamuva kukhuluma ngokuphambene. Ngawo wonke ama-akhawunti, ubuchwepheshe akufanele bube yinkinga enjalo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Apple yabhekana nesithiyo esikhulu, okuyinto esemthethweni ngokumangazayo. Futhi-ke, akekho omunye ngaphandle komdondoshiya oseshiwo uQualcomm onesandla kuwo.
Ngokolwazi lomhlaziyi ohlonishwayo ogama lakhe lingu-Ming-Chi Kuo, ipheya lamalungelo obunikazi enkampani eshiwo ngenhla yaseCalifornia ivimbela i-Apple ekuthuthukiseni amamodemu ayo e-5G. Ngakho-ke kuyothakazelisa kakhulu ukubona ukuthi lolu daba luxazululwa kanjani. Sekuvele kucace kakhudlwana ukuthi izinhlelo zasekuqaleni ze-Apple azisebenzi kahle, nokuthi ngisho nasezizukulwaneni ezizayo kuzofanele ithembele kuphela kumamodemu avela kwaQualcomm.
Kungani i-Apple ifuna amamodemu ayo e-5G
Sengiphetha, ake siphendule umbuzo owodwa obalulekile. Kungani i-Apple izama ukwakha imodemu yayo ye-5G ye-iPhone futhi kungani itshala imali engaka ekuthuthukisweni? Ekuqaleni, kungase kubonakale njengesixazululo esilula uma i-giant iqhubeka nokuthenga izingxenye ezidingekayo ku-Qualcomm. Intuthuko ibiza imali eningi. Noma kunjalo, okubalulekile kusewukuletha intuthuko esiphethweni esiyimpumelelo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Amaya Toman Ukube i-Apple ibine-chip yayo ye-5G, ekugcineni ibizosusa ukuncika kwayo ku-Qualcomm ngemuva kweminyaka eminingi. Kulokhu, kubalulekile ukucabangela ukuthi lezi ziqhwaga ezimbili zazinezingxabano eziningi eziyinkimbinkimbi phakathi kwazo, ezithinta ubuhlobo babo bebhizinisi. Ngakho-ke ukuzimela kuyinto ehamba phambili ecacile. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, inkampani ye-Apple ingonga imali ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umbuzo uwukuthi intuthuko izothuthuka kanjani. Njengoba sesishilo izikhathi eziningana, okwamanje i-Apple ibhekene nezinkinga eziningi, hhayi kuphela kwezobuchwepheshe, kodwa futhi zomthetho.
