U-Vratislav Holub NgoLwesithathu, Ephreli 28, u-Apple umemezele imiphumela yezezimali yekota yokuqala yekhalenda yalo nyaka, futhi kwacaca ukuthi wenze okungaphezu kokuhle. Le nkampani ezinze eCupertino ikwazile ukwehlula izilinganiso zabahlaziyi ngesikhathi ukuthengiswa kwenkampani kuqhutshwa njengokujwayelekile ukudayiswa kwama-iPhone amasha. Kodwa-ke, uTim Cook uphinde waxwayisa ngokuthi ukushoda komhlaba wonke kwezakhi ze-semiconductor kuzoba kungabeka engcupheni ukuhlinzekwa kwezigidigidi zamarandi zama-iPads namaMacs ezinyangeni ezizayo.
Imakethe yaseShayina idlale indima ebalulekile emiphumeleni emihle yezomnotho. Lapha, ukuthengiswa kwama-iPhones kudlule obekulindelwe ngesilinganiso sokubili, futhi ukuthengiswa kwama-Mac kudlule izilinganiso ngengxenye yesithathu.
I-Apple iphinde yamemezela ngoLwesithathu ukuthi izothenga isitoko sayo esingabiza u-$90 billion, okuyizindaba ezinhle kubatshalizimali. Ngoba izokwehlisa umthamo wamasheya atholakalayo ekujikelezeni, intengo yawo kufanele ikhuphuke ngokufunwa njalo. Ukusabela okuhle komphakathi wabatshalizimali kwabonakala ngokushesha emakethe yamasheya lapho Intengo yesitoko se-Apple ikhule ngamaphesenti ambalwa. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akuyona into entsha kumasheya e-Apple, bheka ngezansi ukuthi ishadi labo lentengo libukeka kanjani eminyakeni engu-5 edlule.
Ingabe ukushoda kwama-chip kuzoba inkinga enkampanini maduze nje?
Isikhulu sale nkampani, uTim Cook, uzwakele ngesikhathi kumenyezelwa imiphumela yezimali ukuthi angase abhekane ne-Apple ezinyangeni ezi-3 ezizayo kube nokushoda okukhulu kwama-chips, okungase kufake engozini ukukhiqizwa kwama-iPads amasha nama-Mac ikakhulukazi. Lesi yisigaba esifanayo sama-chips, ukushoda kwawo osekusongela ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto zakwaFord Motors, lapho umenzi wezimoto kufanele anciphise ukukhiqizwa kwezinyanga ezintathu ezizayo.
U-Cook uthe i-Apple kuzomele iqhudelane nezinye izimboni ukuze ikwazi ukukhiqiza amandla abenzi bama-chip. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kunzima kakhulu ukubikezela ukuthi lokhu kuntuleka kuzonyamalala nini. Ekugcineni, ukuntuleka kwalezi zingxenye ezidingekayo ngeke kuholele ekwenyukeni kwentengo yemikhiqizo ye-Apple?
Kunoma yikuphi, abahlaziyi balindele ukuthi i-Apple kufanele yenze kahle nakwikota elandelayo. Ngokomlando, ikota yesibili yekhalenda ivamise ukubona ukwehla okukhulu ekuthengisweni kwe-iPhone, kepha uma kubhekwa ukwethulwa sekwephuzile kwe-iPhone 12, kulindeleke ukuthi kulo nyaka ngeke siphinde isimo esijwayelekile.

I-Apple iyachuma naphezu kobhubhane lwe-coronavirus
Kube nokukhula okuphawulekayo emakethe yasekhaya ukukhula kokuthenga okugqokekayo, futhi abathandi be-Apple nabo babhalisele kakhulu izinhlelo zokusebenza ezikhokhelwayo namasevisi wokufaneleka nomculo.. Kodwa-ke, kuncane ongamangala ngakho, womabili ama-Apple Watch nama-AirPods ayimikhiqizo ephezulu ezigabeni zawo. NjengaseChina, nokho, bekuyiqiniso emhlabeni wonke ukuthi umthombo omkhulu wemali yenkampani kwakuwukuthengiswa kwe-iPhone 12 entsha.
Kuwo wonke ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-89,6 i-Apple eyayithatha emhlabeni wonke, ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-47,9 aqhamuka ekuthengisweni kwama-smartphones ayisakhiwo sodumo. Inkampani ezinze eCupertino izuze u-$9,1 billion ngokuthengiswa kweMac, kanti ama-iPads alethe isamba semali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-7,8 esikhwameni senkampani. Abatshalizimali babe sebebuka ngentshisekelo njengebhizinisi lezesekeli nezimpahla ezigqokwayo ze-Apple, okuhlanganisa imikhiqizo efana nama-headphone, eyakhiwe Ama-AirPods, iwashi noma i-AirTag locator, kanye nendawo yezinsizakalo, ehlanganisa, phakathi kokunye, Isitolo Sohlelo Lokusebenza nezinye izinsizakalo ezintsha ezifana namaphodikasti akhokhelwayo.
I-Apple ikwazile ukuthola inani eliqhathanisekayo lamadivayisi agqokekayo njengasendabeni ye-Macs, futhi umdondoshiya wezobuchwepheshe waze waqoqa amadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-15,5 ngezinsizakalo. Kuyathakazelisa impela lokho Izinsizakalo ze-Apple sezivele zisetshenziswa ngabasebenzisi abayizigidi ezingama-660 emhlabeni jikelele, okungabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-40 kunasekupheleni kuka-2021.
Ngakho-ke kubukeka sengathi isitokwe se-Apple sizoqhubeka nokubhala indaba yayo yokukhula, nakuba icishe yaphindeka kabili ngenani phakathi nezinyanga eziyi-12 ezedlule. Ngakho-ke kusengenye yamasheya aziwa kakhulu ezinhlobonhlobo eziningi zabatshalizimali abazisa inkampani imikhiqizo eyingqayizivele nengenakuqhathaniswa namakhasimende athembekile. Njengoba kungenzeka wazi, uma usuwele enetheni ye-Apple ecosystem, awufuni ukuphuma.
Unjani? Ingabe usebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-Apple kuphela noma inkampani yakwaCupertina ikuhehe kakhulu waze wathenga amasheya ayo? Uma ungaqatshulwa umkhakha wamasheya, ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nokutshala izimali ezitokisini lapha.
