U-Michal Ždanský Inkampani yocwaningo i-IHS ishicilele ukuhlaziywa kwezindleko zokukhiqiza i-iPad Air entsha, njengoba yenza ngemva kokukhishwa ngakunye umkhiqizo omusha I-apula. Ayikashintshi kusukela esizukulwaneni esedlule. Ukukhiqizwa kwenguqulo eshibhe kakhulu yethebhulethi, okungukuthi, enenkumbulo engu-16GB ngaphandle kokuxhumeka kweselula, kuzobiza u-$278 - idola elingaphezu konyaka odlule nge-iPad Air yokuqala. Kodwa-ke, ama-margins ehle ngamaphesenti ambalwa, okwamanje asuka kumaphesenti angu-45 kuya kwangu-57, amamodeli angonyaka odlule afinyelele kumaphesenti angu-61. Lokhu kungenxa yokuphindwa kabili kwememori ku-64 GB naku-128 GB.
Intengo yokukhiqiza yenguqulo ebiza kakhulu ye-iPad Air 2 eno-128 GB noxhumo lweselula ngu-$358. Uma kuqhathaniswa, i-iPad Air 2 eshibhe kakhulu ithengisa ngo-$499, ebiza kakhulu ngo-$829. Kodwa-ke, umehluko phakathi kwentengo yokukhiqiza nokuthengisa awuhlali ngokuphelele ne-Apple, inkampani kufanele futhi itshale imali ocwaningweni, ekuthuthukisweni, ekukhiqizeni nakwezinye izinto.
Ingxenye ebiza kakhulu isalokhu iyisibonisi, esithole ungqimba oluphikisana nokuxhopha esizukulwaneni sesibili se-iPad Air. Ngama-$77, ukukhiqizwa kwayo kwabelwa i-Samsung ne-LG Display. Kodwa-ke, i-Apple ilondoloze esibukweni uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule, lapho intengo yesibonisi yayingamadola angama-90. Enye into ebizayo i-chipset ye-Apple A8X, kodwa intengo yayo ayikavezwa. AbakwaSamsung bayaqhubeka nokunakekela ukukhiqizwa, kepha ngamaphesenti angamashumi amane kuphela, iningi lama-chipsets okwamanje lihlinzekwa ngumkhiqizi waseTaiwan i-TSMC.
Mayelana nokugcinwa, igigabhayithi eyodwa yenkumbulo ye-Apple ibiza cishe amasenti angu-40, okuhlukile okungu-16GB okuncane kakhulu kubiza amadola ayisishiyagalolunye namasenti angamashumi amabili, okuhlukile okuphakathi kubiza amadola angamashumi amabili nesigamu, futhi ekugcineni okuhlukile okungu-128GB kubiza u-$60. Kodwa-ke, ngomehluko wamadola angamashumi amahlanu phakathi kwe-16 ne-128 GB, i-Apple ifuna i-$ 200, ngakho-ke inkumbulo ye-flash iyaqhubeka ingumthombo wemajini aphezulu. I-SK Hynix iyenzela i-Apple, kodwa i-Toshiba ne-SanDisk ngokusobala futhi benza ezinye zezinkumbulo.
Ngokusho kwe-autopsy, i-Apple yasebenzisa cishe ikhamera efanayo ku-iPad njengoba itholakala ku-iPhone 6 ne-6 Plus, kodwa ayinakho ukuzinza okubonakalayo. Umkhiqizi wayo akakahlonzwa, kodwa intengo yekhamera ilinganiselwa ku-$11.
Ithebhulethi yesibili entsha ye-Apple, i-iPad mini 3, ayikakahlakazwa yi-IHS, kodwa singalindela ukuthi amamajini enkampani yaseCalifornia abe phezulu kakhulu lapha. Njengoba sibona nge-iPad Air 2, izingxenye eziningi ziye zashibhile uma ziqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule, futhi njengoba i-iPad mini 3 inezingxenye eziningi zangonyaka odlule kuyo, kuyilapho zisabiza okufanayo, i-Apple cishe yenza imali eningi kuyo kunaleyo. ngonyaka odlule.
Nokho, uma sicabangela ukuthi kufanele ukhokhele ukuthuthukiswa kwe-HW, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-SW, ukumaketha, ezokuthutha, njll. Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi inzuzo evela ku-iPad incane futhi kunalokho bayithola ngezicelo.
