Ukuphawula: I-Sonos ibonise ukuthi ikusasa likuphatheleni i-HomePod

U-Sonos wenze okukhulu kakhulu ngabasebenzisi bedivayisi abadala kuleli sonto. Inkampani icacile umemezele ukuphela kwezibuyekezo ngezikhulumi zakho ezindala kakhulu. Impela, isipikha sisengakwazi ukudlala umculo futhi senze eminye imisebenzi, kodwa labo abatshale imali kuyo yonke i-ecosystem yesipikha se-Sonos iminyaka eminingana manje bazithola besesimeni lapho benokukhetha khona: ukuthuthukela ku-hardware entsha, noma i-ecosystem yabo ngeke' ngingabi nasici njengakuqala .

Okungenani yilokho okushiwo yinkampani, ithi abasebenzisi abafuna ukusebenzisa i-ecosystem nezici ezengeziwe zesipikha bangakwenza lokho kuphela uma bonke ubuchwepheshe busebenzisa isofthiwe yakamuva. Abalandeli abathembeke kakhulu basithatha kabi lesi sinyathelo. Akumangalisi. Lesi sekuyisinyathelo sesibili lapho i-Sonos ikwenza kucace ukuthi izipikha ezihlakaniphile, ngokungafani nezakudala, zinesikhathi esifushane sokuphila. Kuyintela yobuhlakani.

Siyibona emafonini nasemakhompiyutheni. Amadivayisi amadala kakhulu awakwazi ukuhambisana nesofthiwe yakamuva futhi kungesinye sezizathu esenza sithuthuke njalo. Kodwa ngokuthuthukiswa kwalawa madivayisi kuza nenani elingeziwe: ikhamera engcono, usekelo lwe-inthanethi yesimanje ngaphandle kokusika, impilo yebhethri ende noma amagajethi afana ne-Face ID.

Kodwa kungani ungashintsha isipikha esisebenza kahle? Ingabe lezo zici ezimbalwa zesofthiwe zikufanele ngempela ukulahla wonke umkhiqizo kudoti? Futhi kungani, uma ufuna ukusizakala ngohlelo lwale nkampani lokuhwebelana, kufanele ubeke isipikha kumodi yokugaya kabusha, ukwenze kungabi namsebenzi ongenakuhlehliswa? Ngesikhathi lapho izinkampani eziningi zisebenza ngokutshala kwazo, lokhu kuyaxaka futhi akuqondakali. Kakhulu nakakhulu lapho esebenza kuwebhusayithi yakhe ivikela ukusimama kwemvelo.

Nokho, lesi simo sibonisa ukuthi yini engenzeka hhayi kuphela ku-Sonos, kodwa nakwabanye abakhiqizi bezikhulumi ezihlakaniphile. Isibonelo, i-Apple's HomePod. Namuhla, kubonakala sengathi asikho isidingo sesizukulwane sesibili, kodwa umbuzo uwukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ngaphambi kokuba i-hardware iyeke ukuhambisana nesofthiwe. Phela, inhliziyo ye-HomePod ayiyona into esetshenziswa kakhulu yokulalelwayo njengephrosesa yesizukulwane ezinhlanu se-Apple A8 yangenkathi ye-iPhone 6, ehlanganiswe ne-1GB ye-RAM kanye nohlelo lokusebenza olusekelwe ku-iOS. Yebo, le hardware yanele namuhla, kodwa lokho okusebenzayo namuhla kungase kungasebenzi kusasa.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Sonos iqeda ukusekelwa kwamadivayisi aneminyaka engu-11 kuya kwengu-14 ubudala, ngakho-ke i-HomePod kungenzeka ibe nempilo ende efanayo. Umbuzo osalayo ukuthi yini ezolandela uma kufika isikhathi sakhe.
