Ondrej Holzman Njengoba ukwethulwa kwemikhiqizo emisha yakwa-Apple kusondela, kuphinde kuvele imininingwane enembe kakhulu mayelana nefomu negama layo. Ucingo olusha olunama-intshi amane, i-Apple efuna ukuyibuyisela kumenyu ngendlela ebuyekeziwe, ekugcineni izobizwa nge-“iPhone SE” njengoHlelo Olukhethekile.
Kuze kube manje, imodeli entsha engama-intshi amane ibizwe ngokuthi i-iPhone 5SE, njengoba bekufanele ibe umlandeli we-iPhone 5S, i-Apple esayithengisa njengefoni encane yokugcina. UMark Gurman we 9 ku5Mac, okuthi weza negama lokuqala, kodwa manje uzwile ngemithombo yakhe ukuthi laba abahlanu bayehla esihlokweni.
I-iPhone entsha izobizwa ngokuthi "SE" futhi izoba i-iPhone yokuqala engenaso isijobelelo senombolo. Lokhu kunezizathu ezimbalwa okungenzeka. Okokuqala, i-Apple cishe ayifuni ukuthi ibonakale njengemodeli entsha enenombolo yesi-5 lapho ama-iPhones "ayisithupha" emakethe futhi "ayisikhombisa" efika ekwindla Kungase kudideke ngokungadingekile kumakhasimende amaningi .
Ukulahleka kwegama lenombolo, okungaba ngokokuqala ngqa kusukela ku-iPhone yokuqala, kungase futhi kusho ukuthi isikhathi sempilo ye-iPhone SE -- okungukuthi, izothengiswa isikhathi esingakanani -- ingaba yinde ngaphezu konyaka owodwa. Sibona ukuthambekela okufanayo nama-MacBooks, ngokwesibonelo, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi i-Apple izobheja ngayo nama-iPads. I-iPad entsha emaphakathi izoqanjwa ngokuthi i-Pro, kulandelwa imodeli yenkulu.
UMark Gurman uwukuphela komthombo onokwethenjelwa kuze kube manje mayelana nezindaba ezizayo ezivela ku-Apple workshop. Kodwa-ke, umbhali we-blogger ohlonishwayo uJohn Gruber naye uphawule ngombiko wakhe wakamuva. "I-Apple yayingeke ibize le iPhone ngokuthi '5 SE.' Kungani i-Apple inganikeza i-iPhone entsha igama elizwakala lidala?" wabhala I-Gruber. Ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi singathembela ngempela egameni elithi iPhone SE.
U-Gruber wabe esengeza omunye umcabango - noma ngabe kufanele sicabange ngemodeli entsha njenge-iPhone 6S emzimbeni wamayintshi amane kune-iPhone 5S enabasebenzi bangaphakathi abathuthukisiwe. Kuze kube manje, i-iPhone SE ezayo iqhathaniswe ikakhulukazi nokuhluka okukhona kwe-5S isondele kakhulu ngokuya ngomklamo. "Ingabe ama-guts akusona isici esichazayo sanoma iyiphi i-iPhone?" kubuza uGruber.
Ekugcineni, akunandaba, kuyindaba yokubuka, kodwa okubalulekile ukuthi i-iPhone SE ihloselwe ukuba yikho kanye lokho uGruber akuphakamisayo. Ngokolwazi olutholakalayo, izothola ama-A9 processors akamuva ne-M9 coprocessor, futhi kunokuqagela okusha kokuthi ikhamera yayo izoba namamegapixel ayisithupha ngaphezu kwamamegapixel angu-8 okukhulunywe ngawo ngaphambili. I-iPhone 6S kufanele ngokuyinhloko ibe nesibonisi se-3D Touch.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, lokho ifoni entsha ezoyithatha ku-iPhone 5S ukubonakala kwayo, nakuba isibonisi cishe sizoba nezimo eziyindilinga kancane emaphethelweni, kanye nentengo, okufanele ihlale isezingeni elifanayo kakhulu.
Singalindela i-iPhone SE entsha esikhathini esingaphansi kwamasonto amathathu.
Imininingwane nje, kodwa ngokwazi kwami, i-iPhone yokuqala nayo yayingenayo inombolo...
