UDan Pražák Bambalwa abantu abebengalindela okufanayo kuze kube muva nje. Nokho, okwakungakaze kucatshangwe kuye kwaba ngokoqobo. I-Samsung namuhla wamemezela, ukuthi ngenxa yokubambisana eduze ne-Apple, izohlinzeka nge-iTunes kuma-TV ayo akamuva ahlakaniphile. Ngakho-ke isitolo se-Apple movie ne-TV sihlose umkhiqizo oncintisanayo okokuqala ngqa, ngaphandle uma kunjalo sibala amakhompyutha ane-Windows, i-Apple ethuthukisa i-iTunes yayo ngokuqondile.
Nakuba amamodeli angonyaka odlule ama-smart TV avela kwa-Samsung azothola ukwesekwa kwe-iTunes ngendlela yokuvuselela isofthiwe, eyalo nyaka izoyihlanganisa esisekelweni. Inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea kusamele ilucacise uhlu lwama-TV asekelwayo, kodwa isivele iveze ukuthi amafilimu nochungechunge oluvela kuma-iTunes azotholakala endaweni yawo emazweni angaphezu kwekhulu.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Amaya Toman Ngohlelo lokusebenza oluzinikele lwe-iTunes Movies, abasebenzisi ngeke bakwazi ukuthenga kuphela kodwa futhi baqashe amamuvi. Izinto zakamuva nazo zizotholakala, ngisho nangekhwalithi ephezulu kakhulu ye-4K HDR. Ukusekelwa kuzofana ncamashi nokuku-Apple TV nakweminye imikhiqizo ye-Apple. Endabeni ye-Samsung TV, i-iTunes izophinde inikeze ukwesekwa kwezinye izinkonzo ezimbalwa, kuhlanganise ne-Bixby, isibonelo. Ngokuphambene, nokho, i-Apple iwine ukuthi uhlelo ngeke lukwazi ukusebenzisa umlando wosesho nokuphequlula kuhlelo lokusebenza ukwenza izikhangiso zibe ngezakho.
Ngokusho kwenhloko yezinhlelo ze-inthanethi nezinsiza ze-Apple, u-Eddy Cue, ukusebenzisana nabakwaSamsung kuyazuzisa kule ndawo: “Sijabule ngokuletha i-iTunes ne-AirPlay 2 kumakhasimende amaningi emhlabeni jikelele ngama-Samsung TV. Ngokuhlanganisa izinsiza zethu, abasebenzisi be-iPhone, i-iPad ne-Mac banezindlela eziningi zokujabulela okuqukethwe abakuthandayo esikrinini esikhulu kunazo zonke ekhaya labo.”
Kodwa-ke, ukufika kwe-iTunes emikhiqizweni yezimbangi kusho ukuvalelisa kokunye kokuqagela kwakudala. Ngakho-ke kusobala kakhulu ukuthi i-Apple ayithuthukisi eyakhe, ithelevishini eguquguqukayo, okwakuvele kucatshangelwe ngayo njenge-iTV ngesikhathi sikaSteve Jobs. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, kwaba namahemuhemu okuthi umdondoshiya waseCalifornia ubedlala ngombono we-TV evela ekukhiqizeni kwawo, kodwa akakwazanga ukuqhamuka nanoma iyiphi indawo engasungula kuyo kakhulu. Ngakho-ke iphrojekthi ye-iTV yavalwa okwesikhashana futhi manje kubonakala sengathi i-Apple isivalelise kuyo ngokuhle.
Iqiniso lokuthi i-Apple ayizange yenze i-TV ngokwayo iyona nto enhle kuphela. Inguqulo yokuqala izobiza kakhulu, njengazo zonke ezinye izinguqulo zokuqala futhi amathegi amanani angeke adingeki ngokuphelele x2.
Kungaba kuhle kubantu ngoba bonga u-5k ku-Apple TV. Kodwa-ke, ngeshwa, i-Samsung isebuthakathaka ku-Dolby Atmos ne-Dolby Vision, i-Apple TV esekelayo (futhi sezivele zanele esitolo). Ama-TV e-OLED nawo anekhwalithi ephezulu (kodwa anginayo noma kunjalo ;-), izintengo seziqala ukuthakaseleka nokho).
AbakwaSamsung bathanda ukwenza imali eningi.
