Adam Kos Umbiko omusha ovela e-Bloomberg ubonisa ukuthi singaqala "ukubheka phambili" empini entsha phakathi kwama-tech giants, okungukuthi i-Microsoft ne-Apple. Yebo, yonke into isukela ecaleni egameni le-Epic Games, kodwa kuyiqiniso ukuthi inzondo eqalayo inembewu ngisho nangaphambi kwecala eliqhubekayo lasenkantolo. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, bekungase kubonakale njengokubambisana okuhle. I-Microsoft inikeze iHhovisi le-iPhone ne-iPad, lapho ivumela ukusebenza ne-Apple Pencil kanye nekhibhodi yomlingo, inkampani yaze yamenywa kunkulumo eyisihluthulelo ye-Apple. Lokhu kwakamuva, nakho, kwavumela abasebenzisi ukuthi basebenzise abalawuli begeyimu ye-Xbox ngaphakathi kwamasistimu abo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isimo esiphathelene namakhomishana e-App Store, asevele axazululwa ngo-2012, kwakuyi-symbiosis eyisibonelo yezimbangi ezimbili ezindala.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ngiyi-PC
Kodwa-ke, lobu budlelwano buphazanyiswe ukwethulwa kwe-chip yakwa-Apple. Kube wukudunga nje kwenkampani ekuqondeni kweMicrosoft, lapho iphinde yaqasha umlingisi uJohn Hodgman, owaziwa ngelikaMr. PC ohlakaniphile, ukuthi akhushulelwe esikhundleni. Futhi njengoba i-Apple yabalekela i-Intel nge-chip yayo ye-M1, yaphikisana nalokhu ngokusungula ukubambisana noMnu Mac, okungukuthi, u-Justin Long, othuthukisa amaphrosesa akhe ahlasela amadivayisi we-Apple.
UMark Gurman waseBloomberg ubika ukuthi okunye ukuguquka kwenzondo esanda kuvela ezinkampanini kwakuwumzamo weMicrosoft wokuphusha insizakalo yayo yokudlala yamafu ye-xCloud kuplatifomu ye-Apple ye-Apple. U-Apple ekuqaleni ubengakuvumeli (njenge-Google ne-Stadia yayo kanye nawo wonke umuntu, ngaleyo ndaba) bese ephuthuma ngesixazululo esingenangqondo sokukwazi ukusakaza imidlalo ngokucabangela ukuthi yonke imidlalo izofakwa kudivayisi = inani ikhomishini.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Amaya Toman Nokho, uGurman ubala ezinye izizathu. Ngempela, iMicrosoft kuthiwa isiqalile ukunxusa abalawuli be-antitrust base-US naseYurophu ukuthi baphenye imikhuba ye-Apple mayelana nokukhula kwesabelo semakethe ye-Mac ngenkathi ama-Windows PC amile. Ukuncintisana kunempilo futhi kuyadingeka emakethe, inqobo nje uma udlalwa ngendlela efanele. Ngeshwa, umsebenzisi uvame ukushaywa "ngokubika". Kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, sibhekene nempi emnandi lapha. Izoqina impela lapho i-Apple yethula isisombululo sayo seqiniso elixubile, okulindeleke ngo-2022 futhi izobhekana ngqo neHoloLens yakwaMicrosoft. Impela kuzoba nempi ethokozisayo ye-AI futhi, okokugcina, kanye nengqalasizinda yamafu.
Ngakho-ke uma i-Apple ikwazi ukuthengisa ama-Macs amaningi kamuva, ingabe kufanele kuphenywe yiziphathimandla ze-antitrust ngokushesha?
