Adam Kos Amahemuhemu okuqala okuthi i-Apple ifuna ukwakha imodemu yayo ye-5G aziwa kusukela ngo-2018, lapho inkampani ingazange iwafake kuma-iPhones ayo. Iqale yakwenza nge-iPhone 12 ngo-2020, ngosizo lwe-Qualcomm. Kodwa-ke, ufuna ukumqeda kancane kancane, lapho lokhu kuhamba kungase kuqale ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo.
Yize izinkampani eziningi zivezwe emakethe ye-chip ye-5G, empeleni kukhona abaholi abane kuphela. Ngaphandle kwe-Qualcomm, lezi yi-Samsung, i-Huawei ne-MediaTek. Futhi njengoba ubona, zonke lezi zinkampani zenza ama-chipsets azo (hhayi kuphela) omakhalekhukhwini. I-Qualcomm ine-Snapdragon yayo, i-Samsung Exynos, iHuawei iKirin yayo, kanye neMediaTek Dimensity yayo. Ngakho-ke, kuphakanyiswa ngokuqondile ukuthi lezi zinkampani nazo zenze amamodemu e-5G, ayingxenye ye-chipset. Ezinye izinkampani kubalwa i-Unisoc, Nokia Networks, Bradcom, Xilinx nezinye.

I-Apple iphinde ithuthukise ama-chips ayo omakhalekhukhwini, kanti ifulegi lamanje yi-A15 Bionic. Kodwa ukuze ibe nemodemu ye-5G, inkampani kufanele iyithenge, ngakho-ke akusona isisombululo sayo kuphela, okunengqondo efuna ukusishintsha. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi yize enenkontileka neQualcomm kuze kube ngu-2025, ubudlelwano phakathi kwabo abubuhle kakhulu. Izinkantolo zelungelo lobunikazi, okwathi kamuva, zazinecala kuyo yonke into kufinyelelwe kusixazululo.
Igalari yezithombe
Ngokombono we-Apple, ngakho-ke kufanelekile ukuvalelisa kuzo zonke izinkampani ezifanayo ezihlinzeka ngempahla futhi wenze yonke into kahle ngaphansi kophahla "olwakhe" futhi ngaleyo ndlela sithole ukuzimela okwengeziwe (cishe i-Apple izoba nenkululeko eyengeziwe). ekhiqizwa yi-TSMC). Ngisho noma izothuthukisa imodemu yayo ye-5G, izophinde iyisebenzise ngokukhethekile kumadivayisi ayo, futhi ngeke ilandele indlela efana ne-Samsung. Yena, isibonelo, namamodemu akhe e-5G ngokwezindaba zakamuva izohlinzeka, ngokwesibonelo, kuPixel 7 ezayo ye-Google (okungesinye umdlali emkhakheni wama-chipsets ayo, njengoba yethula iTensor yayo ngePixel 6).

I-Apple nakanjani inezinsiza zokuthuthukisa imodemu ye-5G, njengoba yathenga isigaba semodemu ye-Intel ngo-2019. Ngakho-ke, ngisho noma engakwazi, vele, akayi kubancintisana bakwaQualcomm ukuze bamnikeze imodemu. Ngeke kube nengqondo ngoba empeleni kungenzeka ukuthi isuka odakeni iye echibini. Vele, ngeke asitshele ukuthi i-Apple yenza kanjani ngentuthuko manje. Okuqinisekile nokho wukuthi noma engase ethule ngonyaka ozayo usaboshelwe yinkontileka neQualcomm, ngakho kuzomele aqhubeke nokuthatha iphesenti elithile kuyo. Kodwa kwakungeke kudingeke ukuthi ayisebenzise kuma-iPhones, kodwa mhlawumbe kuma-iPads kuphela.
Okubalulekile ukuthi uma wenza yonke into ngokwakho, ungakwazi futhi ukulungisa izinkinga eziningi ongeke ukwazi ukuzithonya ngezingxenye ezinikeziwe. Okuyiyona nkinga yezinye izinkampani ezihlinzeka ngamamodemu azo kubakhiqizi abaningi. Ngakho-ke kufanele "balungise" isixazululo sabo mayelana nalokho okulethwa umphakeli. Futhi u-Apple akasakufuni lokho. Kumsebenzisi, inzuzo esimweni sekhambi lenkampani ngokwayo ingaba ikakhulukazi ekusebenzeni kahle kwamandla, kodwa futhi nasekudlulisweni kwedatha okusheshayo.

Inzuzo ye-Apple ingase ibe ukuhlukahluka okukhulu kusayizi wemodemu, kanye nenani eliphansi lezindleko zokutholwa, ngaphandle kwesidingo sokukhokhela amalayisense namalungelo obunikazi. Yize lokhu kungumbuzo, njengoba i-Apple manje isiphethe amalungelo obunikazi adlule kuyo ngemuva kokutholwa kwesigaba semodemu ye-Intel, kodwa akubandakanyiwe ukuthi kusazodingeka ukuthi isebenzise amanye aphethwe yiQualcomm. Noma kunjalo, bekungaba ngemali encane kunamanje.
