Petr Škuta Iningi lethu lingavuma ukuthi ama-iPhones abonakala ebiza kakhulu unyaka nonyaka. Kodwa-ke, umhlaziyi owaziwayo uHorace Dediu ubheke izinombolo ngelinye iso futhi uyaphikisana nesitatimende.
Izibalo UHorace Dediu inokugxila kwesikhathi eside emkhakheni wezobuchwepheshe futhi yaziwa ngokuhlaziywa kwayo kwezezimali mayelana ne-Apple. Manje iza nezinye izibalo zomnotho ezithakazelisayo mayelana iPhone amanani. Kuyamangaza ukuthi bathi intengo yama-iPhone ayinyuki kangako.
Kugrafu engezansi, singabona amazinga entengo lapho kufakwe khona izizukulwane zokuqala ze-iPhone kuze kufike kulezi zamanje. Ukunyuka kwentengo kusengabonakala. Pho kungani uDediu efuna okuhlukile?
Izintengo kugrafu azikunaki ukwehla kwamandla emali. Ngo-2007, i-iPhone yasekuqaleni yayibiza u-$600, okungaba cishe u-$742 ngezintengo zanamuhla. Kuseyinani elincane kakhulu kunani uzokhokha i-iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Kodwa u-Dediu ubonisa ukuthi kubalulekile ukuqapha lokho okubizwa ngokuthi intengo yokuthengisa evamile, okungukuthi i-ASP (intengo yokuthengisa isilinganiso). Idatha evela kulo nyaka ayitholakali, kodwa amanani awazange anyakaze kakhulu kusukela ngo-2018. I-ASP ibonisa inani lapho umsebenzisi we-iPhone athenga khona. Futhi akafinyeleli kumamodeli aphakeme kakhulu, ngokuvamile okuphambene kakhulu.
I-Apple Watch yande kakhulu kuneMacy phakathi neminyaka emibili
I-ASP isephakathi kwama-$600-$700. Ngamanye amazwi, i-Apple ithengisa ama-smartphones abiza kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi igcina amamodeli amadala ekunikezeni, abasebenzisi bavame ukukhetha okuhlukile "okushibhile" futhi "okuthengekayo". Ngomfanekiso e-Czech Republic, singacabanga abasebenzisi abaningi abathenge i-iPhone SE.
Uhla jikelele lwama-iPhones luhlobene nalokhu. Ikhula njalo, futhi uma sifaka amamodeli ngamanye, okuhlanganisa umthamo wokugcina, i-Apple inikeze amamodeli e-iPhone ahlukene ayi-17 ngoFebhuwari walo nyaka. Okuwukukhula okumangalisayo.
Igalari yezithombe
Ku-tweet yakhe, uDediu uphinde waphikisana nesimangalo sokuthi ukuhlukaniswa kwephothifoliyo bekungeke kwenzeke ngaphansi kweMisebenzi. Mane ukhumbule ukunikezwa okuhlukahlukene kwazo zonke izinhlobo zamasayizi ama-iPod, ayengekho nje kumamodeli ahlukene, kodwa futhi kumasayizi wediski.
Ku-tweet yokugcina, wengeze ngokuthi i-Apple Watch izodlula isisekelo sabasebenzisi be-Macs kungakapheli iminyaka emibili kamuva. Yize i-macOS yenza kahle kakhulu emlandweni, kungakapheli iminyaka emibili abasebenzisi abaningi bazoba namadivayisi we-watchOS ezihlakaleni zabo kunangaphambili nge-macOS kumadeskithophu abo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
