U-Vratislav Holub Iminyaka eminingana manje, endabeni yezingcingo ze-Apple, bekulokhu kukhulunywa ngoshintsho olusuka kusixhumi esikhona manje sombani siye ku-USB-C esabalele futhi eshesha kakhulu. Abalimi be-apula ngokwabo baqala ukubiza lolu shintsho, ngesizathu esilula. Kwakuku-USB-C khona lapho umncintiswano wanquma ukubheja, ngaleyo ndlela wathola izinzuzo ezishiwo ngenhla. Ngemva kwalokho, iKhomishini YaseYurophu yangenela. Ngokusho kwakhe, kufanele kwethulwe izinga elifanayo - okungukuthi, ukuthi bonke abakhiqizi bezingcingo baqale ukusebenzisa i-USB-C. Kodwa kukhona catch. I-Apple ayifuni ngempela ukwenza ushintsho olunjalo, olungashintsha maduze nje. I-European Commission yethule isiphakamiso esisha somthetho futhi maningi amathuba okuthi kube noshintsho olujabulisayo maduzane.
Kungani i-Apple igcina umbani
Isixhumi sombani besilokhu sinathi kusukela ngo-2012 futhi sesiyingxenye engenakuhlukaniswa hhayi yama-iPhones kuphela, kodwa nakwamanye amadivaysi e-Apple. Leli chweba elithile lalibhekwa njengelinye elingcono kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi, futhi lalifaneleka kakhulu kune, isibonelo, i-micro-USB. Namuhla, nokho, i-USB-C iphezulu, futhi iqiniso ukuthi idlula umbani cishe kukho konke (ngaphandle kokuqina). Kepha kungani i-Apple namanje, cishe ekupheleni kuka-2021, ithembele kusixhumi esiphelelwe yisikhathi?
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Uma uthi nhlá, kungase kubonakale sengathi ngisho naku-Cupertino giant uqobo, ukushintshela ku-USB-C kufanele kulethe izinzuzo kuphela. Ama-iPhones anganikeza ukushaja ngokushesha okukhulu, azokwazi ukubhekana nezinsiza ezithokozisayo nefomu. Kodwa-ke, isizathu esiyinhloko asikwazi ukubonakala ekuqaleni - imali. Njengoba i-Lightning iyichweba elikhethekile elivela ku-Apple futhi i-giant ingemuva ngqo ekuthuthukisweni kwayo, kuyacaca ukuthi inkampani ibuye izuze ekuthengisweni kwazo zonke izesekeli zisebenzisa lesi sixhumi. Ibhrendi eqinile ebizwa ngokuthi Yenzelwe i-iPhone (MFi) yakhiwe eduze kwayo, lapho i-Apple ithengisa khona amalungelo kwabanye abakhiqizi ukukhiqiza nokudayisa izintambo ezinelayisensi nezinye izisetshenziswa. Futhi njengoba lokhu kuwukuphela kwenketho, ngokwesibonelo, ama-iPhones noma ama-iPads ayisisekelo, kuyacaca ukuthi imali ehloniphekile izogeleza ekuthengisweni, inkampani ezolahlekelwa ngokuzumayo ngokushintshela ku-USB-C.
Noma kunjalo, kufanele siveze ukuthi, ngaphandle kwalokhu, i-Apple ihamba kancane ifinyelela ezingeni elishiwo ngenhla le-USB-C. Konke kwaqala ngo-2015 ngokwethulwa kwe-12″ MacBook, eyaqhubeka ngonyaka kamuva nge-MacBook Air ne-Pro eyengeziwe. Kulawa madivayisi, wonke amachweba athathelwe indawo yi-USB-C ngokuhlanganiswa ne-Thunderbolt 3, enganikezeli amandla kuphela, kodwa futhi nokuxhumeka kwezinsiza, abaqaphi, ukudluliswa kwefayela nokunye. Kamuva, i-"Céčka" iphinde yathola i-iPad Pro (isizukulwane sesi-3), i-iPad Air (isizukulwane sesine) futhi manje ne-iPad mini (isizukulwane sesi-4). Ngakho-ke kuyacaca ukuthi endabeni yalezi zixhobo "ezingochwepheshe", umbani wawunganele. Kodwa ingabe i-iPhone ibhekene nesiphetho esifanayo?
I-European Commission icacile ngalokhu
Njengoba sesishilo ngenhla, i-European Commission iye yazama isikhathi eside ukwenza ushintsho lomthetho, ngenxa yokuthi bonke abakhiqizi bezinto ezincane ze-electronics, ezingasebenzi kuphela kumakhalekhukhwini, kodwa futhi kumathebulethi, ama-headphone, amakhamera, aphathekayo. izipikha noma ama-consoles aphathekayo, isibonelo. Ushintsho olunjalo bekufanele lufike ngo-2019, kodwa ngenxa yobhubhane oluqhubekayo lwe-covid-19, wonke umhlangano wahlehliswa. Ngemva kokulinda isikhathi eside, ekugcineni sathola ulwazi olwengeziwe. I-European Commission yethule isiphakamiso somthetho lapho zonke izinto zikagesi ezibaluliwe ezithengiswa endaweni ye-European Union kumele zinikeze imbobo yokushaja yohlobo olulodwa lwe-USB-C, futhi ngemva kokuvunyelwa okungenzeka, abakhiqizi bazoba nezinyanga ezingu-24 kuphela ukwenza izinguquko ezidingekayo.
Okwamanje, lesi siphakamiso sithuthelwa ePhalamende laseYurophu, okumele lixoxwe ngaso. Kodwa-ke, njengoba iziphathimandla zaseYurophu bezilokhu zizama ukwenza into efanayo isikhathi eside, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ingxoxo elandelayo, ukuvunyelwa kanye nokwamukelwa kwesiphakamiso kuzoba yinto engokomthetho futhi, ngokombono, kungase kungathathi ngisho nesikhathi esiningi. . Uma sesamukelwe, isiphakamiso sizoqala ukusebenza kuyo yonke i-EU kusukela ngedethi ekhonjwe ku-Official Journal.
Izophendula kanjani i-Apple?
Isimo esizungeze i-Apple sibonakala sicacile kulokhu. Sekuyisikhathi eside kuthiwa esikhundleni sokuthi umdondoshiya weCupertino ulahle umbani futhi ubeke i-USB-C esikhundleni sawo nge-USB-C (kuma-iPhones aso), kungcono ukuza nefoni engenantambo ngokuphelele. Lesi futhi mhlawumbe isizathu esenza ukuthi sibone into entsha ngesimo se-MagSafe ngonyaka odlule. Nakuba lo msebenzi ubukeka njengeshaja "engenazintambo" uma uthi nhlá, kungenzeka ukuthi esikhathini esizayo futhi ingase inakekele ukudluliswa kwefayela, okuyisikhubekiso esiyinhloko okwamanje. Umhlaziyi ophambili uMing-Chi Kuo ubike into efanayo eminyakeni edlule, owabelana ngombono wefoni ye-Apple ngaphandle kwanoma yisiphi isixhumi.
I-MagSafe ingaba yinguquko ethokozisayo:
Igalari yezithombe
Kodwa-ke, akekho ongasho ngokuqinisekile ukuthi iyiphi indlela ozoyithatha umdondoshiya weCupertino. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusafanele silinde ukuphothulwa kwenqubo yomthetho ephelele emhlabathini we-European Union, noma kuze kube umzuzu ngaphambi kokuba isiphakamiso siqale ukusebenza. Ngokwethiyori, ingahlehliswa futhi. Yini ongathanda ukuyamukela kakhulu? Ugcina umbani, ushintshela ku-USB-C, noma i-iPhone engenakho ukuphatheka ngokuphelele?
