Kungashiwo nje ukuthi ukuhlinzekwa kwama-jigsaws akukho eduze nokuthengiswa kwama-smartphones endabuko. Izindaba zakamuva ezivela I-IDC ikhuluma ngokuthengiswa kwabo kwamanje kanye nenkambiso ebala kuze kube ngu-2027. Futhi noma ngabe ingxenye yejigsaw ikhula, izokhula kancane kangangokuthi akunangqondo ukuthi i-Apple ingene kuyo - futhi yingakho. Kungani uzama, lapho inkampani yaseMelika ifuna inzuzo, okuyinto imishini eguquguqukayo engeke ilethe ngokuphawulekayo kusukela ekuqaleni. Esikhundleni salokho, ingaqhubeka igxile kuma-iPhones akudala futhi asathandwa kakhulu futhi idlule amadola enzuzweni yawo.
Ngakho-ke, umbiko omusha we-IDC usho ngokuqondile ukuthi izingcingo ezigoqekayo eziyizigidi eziyi-2022 zizothengiswa ngo-14,2, okubalelwa ku-1,2% wokuthengiswa okuphelele kwama-smartphone. Kulo nyaka, kufanele kube cishe kabili, hhayi nje ngenxa yokwanda kokukhiqiza, kodwa futhi ngenxa yesidingo. Kodwa ezinye izigidi ezingu-21,4 azikanele uma ucabangela yonke kanye neqiniso lokuthi le nombolo isakazwa phakathi kwabathengisi abaningana (i-Samsung izothatha ngokunengqondo kakhulu).
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
U-Vratislav Holub I-IDC iphinde ibikezele ukuthi amafoni asongekayo azofinyelela ku-2027% wesabelo semakethe yama-smartphone ngo-3,5, esephansi impela, yize ukuthengiswa kulindeleke ukuthi kufinyelele kumayunithi acishe abe yizigidi ezingama-48. Akungabazeki ukuthi le "sub-segment" izokhula, nokuthi ukuthengiswa kwama-smartphones asendulo kuzoqhubeka nokwehla, kodwa kusekuncane kakhulu ukuthi ngisho ne-Apple ikhulume nemakethe esikhathini esizayo esibonakalayo. Ngakho-ke uma ulinde iphazili yokuqala ye-Apple, kungenzeka ukuthi uzobe ulinde eminye iminyaka emi-5.
Isihloko se-athikili siwumbhedo. I-Apple ayikwazi ukulinda ukwethula i-iPhone eguquguqukayo. Phela kumele azethule yena.
