Ondrej Holzman Ngokwemininingwane yakamuva, ingqungquthela kaMashi ka-Apple ingase yethule izingcezu ezimbalwa ze-hardware ebalulekile. Ngaphezu kwe-iPhone engama-intshi amane, inkampani yaseCalifornian futhi ihlela ukukhombisa isizukulwane esisha i-iPad Air, okungase kusho igxathu elikhulu eliya phambili.
KwakunguMark Gurman futhi evela 9 ku5Mac, okuthi wengeza izindaba zakhe zangempela mayelana nenkulumo eyisihluthulelo kaMashi ezayo. Eduze ne ye-iPhone 5SE enamayintshi amane futhi okunye amabhendi amasha we-Watch ngokwemithombo yakhe, i-iPad Air 3 kufanele ivele.
I-Apple yethule ama-iPads amasha ekwindla edlule, kodwa yi-iPad mini kuphela ne-iPad Pro entsha ezanikezwa isikhala ngaleso sikhathi. I-iPad Air ilinde ukubuyekezwa kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2014, futhi i-Apple manje kuthiwa isilungele ukukhombisa isizukulwane esilandelayo.
I-iPad Air 3, njengoba ithebhulethi entsha kufanele ibizwe kanjalo, inganikeza ipheya eyengeziwe yezipikha ukuze ifane kakhulu ne-iPad Pro, kanye nesibani se-LED sokuthwebula okungcono kakhulu kwekhamera engemuva. Kodwa-ke, lezi zici zivele kuphela kuma-schematics aputshuziwe angaqinisekisiwe kuze kube manje.
Kodwa-ke, lokho u-Gurman anakho okuvela emithonjeni yakhe, evame ukwethenjwa kakhulu, ukuthi i-iPad Air ehambisana ne-Apple Pensela, kuze kube manje esebenza kuphela ne-iPad Pro, iyahlolwa eCupertino. Uma Ipensela empeleni isebenze ne-iPad Air, ingayenza ibe into ekhangayo (futhi ethengekayo) kubaklami, abaculi, nabanye abadali.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uGurman wengeza ukwaziswa okuphathelene namaqembu amasha e-Watch, azokwethulwa ngo-March. Ngenkathi isizukulwane sesibili se-Apple Watch singakalungi, i-Apple izokhipha imibala emisha eminingana yamasongo enjoloba, iqoqo likaHermès eliwubukhazikhazi lizothola imibala emisha, futhi umnyakazo osevele uputshukile weMilanese ngeke ulahleke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, olunye uchungechunge lwamakhasethi enziwe ngezinto ezintsha ngokuphelele kuthiwa lusendleleni.
Lokho kungaba kuhle ngempela. I-iPad Pro inkulu kakhulu kimi. I-iPad ilungile. Ipensela izofanela kahle i-iPad. Ngakho ngethemba ukuthi kuzoba yiqiniso.
Ngingathi kungaba ukwehluleka okukhulu uma i-iPad entsha ingawusekeli ipensela. Ngakho-ke kungcono ngikuthathe njengokubalulekile, okuyinto engiyithanda ngokuqondakalayo, ngoba kuze kube manje alukho uthayela ongenelise ukunemba kwalo.
Lokho kunengqondo. Bengilindele ukuthi ukwesekwa kwe-Apple Pencil kuzokwengezwa kancane kancane kuma-iPads amancane. Okokuqala benza imali kubamukeli bokuqala okwakufanele babe ne-iPad Pro, manje sebezonikeza nabanye ipensela... Kunengqondo.
Hhayi-ke bengingeke ngibhejwe nhlobo. Ngokubona kwami, i-iPad Pro maduze izoba nezinkinga zokuthengisa ngenxa yentengo, ngaphezu kwalokho, imakethe yayo i-niche kakhulu futhi izogcwala ngokushesha. Uma ukukhanga okuyinhloko kwe-iPad Pro kungukuthi (ngaphezu kwezinye izinto) Ipensela ye-Apple, khona-ke ngokuyisekela i-iPad Air 3, i-Apple empeleni izozakhela umncintiswano. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuyindaba nje yesinqumo sokumaketha...
