Umcimbi wanamuhla we-Apple ububanjwe ngokungajwayelekile ngqo ekomkhulu lenkampani yakwa-Apple eCupertino, eCalifornia. USteve Jobs wayengekho ngenxa yokugula, ngakho uGreg Jaswiak wathatha amazwi okuvula. Ekuqaleni, kwakukhona ukuhlolwa kokuthi izinto zinjani nge-iPhone emhlabeni. Sifunde ukuthi i-iPhone itholakala emazweni angu-80 futhi sebedayise ingqikithi yama-iPhone 13,7G ayizigidi ezingu-3 kuze kube manje, kuhlanganise nezigidi ezingu-17 esizukulwaneni sokuqala. Uma ungeza amanye ama-iPod Touches ayizigidi ezingu-13 athengiswe kuleyo nombolo, iyimakethe enhle kakhulu yonjiniyela ku-Appstore.

Abantu abangu-50 kanye nezinkampani ezibambe iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kohlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhone, lapho i-000% ephelele yayingakaze idale isicelo sedivayisi yeselula ngaphambili. Laba bantu bakhiphe izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingama-60 ku-Appstore. Isamba esingu-25% sezicelo sivunyiwe esikhathini esingaphansi kwezinsuku eziyi-98, okuyinto eyamangaza kimina uqobo.

Ngemva kokufingqa amaqiniso ayisisekelo, uScott Forstall wathatha isiteji, owasinikeza izinguquko ezinkulu ku-iPhone firmware 3.0. UScott usethe ithoni zisuka nje ukuthi abathuthukisi bazoyithanda ngempela. Umemezele ama-API amasha angaphezu kwe-1000 azokwenza lula kakhulu ukwakhiwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezintsha futhi kufanele avulele amathuba amasha kubathuthukisi ukuthuthukisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezithandekayo.

Kodwa-ke, abathuthukisi bakhononda ngemodeli yebhizinisi eyodwa kuphela, lapho bethola khona u-70% wesicelo esidayisiwe. Lokhu kwenze kwaba nzima konjiniyela ukusebenzisa ezinye izindlela, njengokukhokhela ukusetshenziswa kwanyanga zonke kohlelo lokusebenza. Onjiniyela baphinde bantula inkokhelo yokuqukethwe okusha kohlelo lokusebenza, futhi bavame ukukuxazulula ngokukhulula izingxenye ezintsha zohlelo olunikeziwe nokudala ukungcola okuhle ku-Appstore. Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, nokho, i-Apple yenze umsebenzi wayo waba lula kancane lapho inganikeza ukuthengwa kokuqukethwe okusha kohlelo lokusebenza. Lapha ngingacabanga, ngokwesibonelo, ngithengisa amamephu ku-software yokuzulazula.

I-Apple iphinde yethula ukuxhumana kwe-iPhone nge-bluetooth, engadingi ngisho nokumataniswa (kodwa idivayisi yesibili kufanele isekele iphrothokholi ye-BonJour, ngakho-ke ngeke kube lula kangako). Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, i-iPhone firmware 3.0 entsha kufanele isekele wonke amaphrothokholi aziwayo we-bluetooth, noma abathuthukisi bangazakhela eyabo. Akumele kusaba inkinga ukuthumela, isibonelo, ikhadi lebhizinisi kwenye idivayisi nge-bluetooth. I-iPhone kufanele futhi ikwazi ukuxhumana nezinsiza ngale ndlela, lapho, ngokwesibonelo, ungalawula imvamisa yomsakazo we-FM emotweni usuka kusibonisi se-iPhone.

Umsebenzi onzima nawo wenziwa emabalazweni, futhi i-Apple kusukela lapho isivumele ukuthi Indawo yabo Eyisisekelo isetshenziswe ku-iPhone. Lokhu kusho ukuthi manje akukho okuvimba ukuzulazula kwejika nejika ekuveleni ku-iPhone!

Okulandelayo ku-ajenda ukwethulwa kwezaziso ze-Push. U-Apple uvumile ukuthi isixazululo sabo sizofika sekwephuzile, kodwa impumelelo emangalisayo ye-Appstore yenza izinto zaba nzima kakhulu, futhi u-Apple wabe eseqaphela ukuthi yonke le nkinga yayiyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Cishe abazange bafune enye fiasco ngemva izinkinga MobileMe.

I-Apple ibisebenza ngezaziso zohlelo lokusebenza ezinyangeni eziyisi-6 ezedlule. Uhlole izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingemuva kumadivayisi afana ne-Windows Mobile noma i-Blackberry futhi ngaleso sikhathi impilo yebhethri yefoni yehle ngo-80%. U-Apple uveze ukuthi ngokusetshenziswa kwezaziso zabo zohlelo lokusebenza, impilo yebhethri ku-iPhone yehle ngo-23% kuphela.

I-Apple yethule izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza kuhlelo lokusebenza lokuthumela imiyalezo esheshayo i-AIM. Uhlelo lokusebenza lungathumela izaziso kusibonisi kokubili ngefomu lombhalo nokusebenzisa isithonjana esikusikrini, njengoba sazi ngokwesibonelo nge-SMS, kodwa uhlelo lokusebenza luphinde lazixwayisa lisebenzisa imisindo. Izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza zakhiwe ukuze zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza zisebenzise isistimu eyodwa ehlanganisiwe egxile empilweni yebhethri, ukusebenza, nokulungiselelwa kwezinkampani zefoni. I-Apple bekumele isebenze nabathwali kuwo wonke amazwe angama-80 ngoba inkampani ngayinye yenethiwekhi isebenza ngokuhlukile kancane.

Kwabe sekumenywa abanye onjiniyela esiteji. Isibonelo, u-Paul Sodin weza ne-Meebo (isevisi yewebhu ye-IM edumile) eyaqinisekisa lokho esikwaziyo sonke. Isaziso se-Push yilokho okubalulekile wonke umuntu obekulahlekile. Ngemuva kwalokho uTravis Boatman we-EA wagibela esiteji ukwethula umdlalo omusha we-iPhone i-Sims 3.0. I-EA ayiphiki futhi njenge-digger yeqiniso yegolide iveza ukuthi imodeli yebhizinisi entsha ingasetshenziswa kanjani futhi ibonise ukuthengwa kokuqukethwe okusha ngokuqondile kugeyimu. Kodwa kuhle ukudlala umculo ovela kumtapo wezincwadi we-iPod ngokuqondile emdlalweni. U-Hody Crouch ovela kwa-Oracle wethule uhlelo lwabo lwebhizinisi, lapho ethule khona izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza nezinkundla ezintsha ze-API ezinhlelweni zabo eziqapha imicimbi emakethe yesitoko noma ebhizinisini.

Okulandelayo kwaba ukwethulwa kohlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhone lwe-ESPN lokusakazwa kwezemidlalo. Isibonelo, uma ubukele umdlalo kuhlelo lokusebenza bese uyobhala i-imeyili, uhlelo lokusebenza lungakwazisa ngomsindo wokuthi igoli lishayiwe. Ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-ESPN, kucatshangwa ukuthi iseva ye-ESPN kuzodingeka ilethe izaziso zokucindezela eziyizigidi ezingama-50 ngenyanga, yingakho kuthathe isikhathi eside i-Apple ukwenza izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza. Olunye uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhone, i-LifeScan, yakhelwe abanesifo sikashukela. Bangathumela idatha kusuka kudivayisi yabo yokulinganisa izinga likashukela nge-bluetooth noma ngesixhumi sedokhi siye ku-iPhone. Uhlelo lokusebenza bese likusiza ukuthi ukhethe ukudla okulungile mayelana nesimo noma ukwazi ukubala ukuthi siyayidinga imithamo emincane ye-insulin.

I-Nkomoco isiphenduke inkampani enemidlalo engcono kakhulu ye-iPhone. Bethule imidlalo emi-2 emisha. Thinta Izilwane Ezifuywayo kanye ne-LiveFire. I-Touch Pets ngumdlalo wokuqala wesilwane esifuywayo usebenzisa amanethiwekhi omphakathi. Ungase uthole izaziso zokuthi othile ufuna ukuhamba nezinja nawe. Ingabe lokho kuzwakala njengokuhlanya? Ngokungangabazeki, amantombazane amancane azoyithanda. I-LiveFire iyisidubuli soshintsho, lapho uzothola khona izimemo zokujoyina umdlalo kumngane usebenzisa izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza. Kukhona nokuthenga izikhali ezintsha (ngemali yangempela!!).

Isicelo sokugcina esethulwe bekuyi-Leaf Trmobone, ezokwethula ukudlala izinsimbi zomculo enkundleni yokuxhumana nabantu. Uhlelo lokusebenza luvela kumdali wohlelo lokusebenza oludumile lwe-Ocarina iPhone, uSmule. Ukwethulwa okuphelele kwezinhlelo zokusebenza akuzange kujabulise kakhulu, uma ungacabanga ukuthi izaziso ezinjalo zohlelo lokusebenza noma isikhombimsebenzisi esisha se-API sisebenza kanjani. Ngokwami, angibanga naso isikhathi esijabulisa ngempela esidlula umcabango wami.

Ngemva kokwethulwa kwalezi zicelo, izethameli ehholo zacikeka. Ngenhlanhla, uForstall ubuyile futhi waqhubeka nokukhuluma nge-SDK. Iqale ngomsindo ngaso leso sikhathi, i-firmware 3.0 entsha izoba nezici ezintsha ezingaphezu kwe-100 futhi, okumangazayo emhlabeni, i-Copy & Paste ayishoda! Inkazimulo! Vele uchofoze kabili egameni futhi kuzovela imenyu ukuze kukopishwe umbhalo. Lesi sici sisebenza kuzo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza, okuyinto enhle.

Isibonelo, ungakopisha okuqukethwe kwewebhusayithi, lapho ungamaka khona ukuthi udinga isiqephu esingakanani. Ukukopisha umbhalo ku-Imeyili kuzophinde kugcine ukufometha. Uma unyakazisa ifoni, ungabuyela esenzweni esisodwa (hlehlisa). Ukusekelwa kwe-VoIP kufanele futhi kwengezwe ezinhlelweni zokusebenza, ukuze ukwazi ukuxoxa nomngane ku-inthanethi ngenkathi uhamba nezinja.

Kukhona nokuthumela izithombe eziningi kuhlelo lokusebenza Lwemeyili. Inkinobho Yesenzo kuhlelo lokusebenza Lwezithombe ikuvumela ukuthi ufake izithombe ezimbalwa ezisuka ku-albhamu yezithombe ngqo ku-imeyili. Esinye isici esincane kodwa esibalulekile ukuthi kungenzeka ikhibhodi evundlile ezinhlelweni ezifana ne-Mail noma Amanothi.

Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, uzokwazi futhi ukususa imilayezo ye-SMS ngawodwana noma uma kungenzeka uyidlulisele. Izindaba ezinkulu ukwesekwa kwemiyalezo ye-MMS, abantu abaningi abakhala ngayo. Kukhona nohlelo olusha lwendabuko olubizwa nge-Voice Memos, lapho ungaqopha khona amamemo ezwi. Izinhlelo zokusebenza ezifana neKhalenda nezitoko nazo azizange zibalekele ukuthuthukiswa. Ungakwazi kakade ukuvumelanisa ikhalenda nge-Exchange, CalDav, noma ungabhalisela ifomethi ye-.ics. 

Olunye uhlelo lokusebenza olubalulekile lwe-iPhone ku-firmware 3.0 entsha uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Spotlight, olujwayelekile kubasebenzisi be-MacOS. Ingasesha koxhumana nabo, ikhalenda, iklayenti le-imeyili, i-iPod noma kumanothi, futhi mhlawumbe kuzoba nokusekelwa kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zezinkampani zangaphandle. Ucela lolu sesho ngokuswayipha ngokushesha esikrinini sasekhaya se-iPhone.

Eminye imisebenzi nayo ithuthukisiwe, njengohlelo lweSafari. Manje isiqukethe isihlungi esimelene nobugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayi noma ingakhumbula amaphasiwedi ngokungena kumasayithi ahlukahlukene. Ikhibhodi iphinde yathuthukiswa futhi nokusekelwa kwezinye izilimi ezintsha kwengezwa.

Futhi manje into ebaluleke kakhulu. Engangikwesaba kusukela ekuqaleni kokumenyezelwa kwe-firmware entsha 3.0. Okungukuthi, izotholakala nini ngempela? Nakuba ngangigcwele ithemba futhi nginethemba lokuthi kuzoba ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, ngizonidumaza nonke. I-firmware ngeke itholakale kuze kube ihlobo, nakuba onjiniyela bangayihlola namuhla.

Kuzokwazi ukufaka i-firmware entsha ngisho naku-iPhone yesizukulwane sokuqala, nakuba ungeke ukwazi ukusebenzisa zonke izici zayo kuyo, njengokwesekwa kwe-Stereo Bluetooth noma ukusekelwa kwe-MMS kuzobe kungekho (isizukulwane sokuqala se-iPhone sinokuhlukile. I-GSM chip). Isibuyekezo sizoba mahhala ku-iPhone, abasebenzisi be-iPod Touch bazokhokha u-$9.95.

Sifunde eminye imininingwane ku-Q&A. Babengafuni ukukhuluma ngokusekelwa kwe-Flash okwamanje, kodwa ukusekelwa okunjalo kokusebenzisa ifoni njengemodemu, ngokwesibonelo, kuthiwa kusendleleni, i-Apple isebenza nabasebenza kulokhu okungenzeka. I-firmware 3.0 entsha kufanele futhi ibone ukuthuthuka kwejubane.
